A classic serif with clearly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show a traditional, book-oriented construction: open, rounded bowls; tapered joins; and a steady vertical stress that reads cleanly in text. Capitals feel stately and slightly wide in presence, while lowercase maintains even rhythm with robust stems and clear counters. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and firm terminals that keep figures legible alongside text.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial, and magazine layouts where a traditional serif texture is desirable. It also performs convincingly for chapter titles, pull quotes, and print headlines that need a classic, polished presence.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking established publishing and editorial typography. Its sharp serifs and confident contrast give it a formal, authoritative voice, while the rounding and bracketing keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended as a conventional, dependable text serif with a refined, high-contrast finish. It prioritizes familiar proportions and a stable reading rhythm, aiming to deliver an authoritative, publication-ready voice for both continuous text and display settings.
In the sample text, the face holds together well at larger sizes, where the contrast and serif detailing become a defining character feature. The design balances crisp edges with soft curvature, creating a composed texture suitable for sustained reading without feeling overly mechanical.
