A traditional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show moderate proportions and a steady, text-oriented rhythm, with sturdy vertical stems, tapered joins, and rounded bowls that stay controlled rather than calligraphic. Capitals are stately and evenly weighted; lowercase forms are compact and readable, with a two-storey “g” and “a,” a narrow, clean “r,” and a straightforward, open “e.” Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with clear differentiation and strong vertical emphasis.
Well suited for long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts, where the familiar serif structure supports comfortable scanning. It also performs convincingly in headings, pull quotes, and formal collateral when a traditional, authoritative voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting authority and restraint. Its high-contrast sparkle and traditional detailing feel at home in established, print-forward contexts, conveying seriousness without looking ornate.
The design intention reads as a conventional text serif aimed at dependable readability and familiar typographic tone, using high-contrast modeling and bracketed serifs to deliver a refined, print-classic appearance across both display and text sizes.
Spacing appears balanced for continuous reading, with clear internal counters and a consistent baseline presence. In larger sizes, the sharp terminals and contrast give it a crisp, editorial sheen, while at smaller sizes the fine hairlines may require sufficient resolution and contrast to maintain clarity.
