A conventional serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and pronounced stroke contrast, balancing crisp hairlines against sturdier verticals. The proportions feel comfortably broad, with generous sidebearings and steady spacing that keeps lines open in text. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are clean, and the overall rhythm is even and measured, supporting continuous reading while still showing a distinctly sculpted, high-contrast silhouette.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif texture is desired, and it also performs convincingly in magazine headlines, subheads, and pull quotes thanks to its crisp contrast and steady spacing. It can add a polished, established tone to reports, essays, and other text-forward layouts.
The tone is classic and authoritative, leaning toward an editorial and literary feel rather than playful or experimental. Its crisp contrast and traditional detailing give it a composed, formal voice that reads as established and trustworthy.
The design intention appears to be a faithful, conventional text serif that combines traditional proportions with clear, high-contrast drawing for a refined page color. It aims for dependable readability and a familiar, institutional character while remaining sharp enough for display use in editorial settings.
Uppercase forms project a solid, inscriptional presence, while the lowercase maintains a tidy, traditional structure with clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals and punctuation match the same disciplined contrast and serif treatment, keeping the texture consistent across mixed content.
