A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed serifs that taper cleanly into stems. The capitals feel stately and evenly proportioned with sharp joins and smooth curves, while the lowercase shows a traditional, text-oriented structure with two-storey a and g, modest apertures, and compact, well-shaped bowls. Numerals follow the same high-contrast rhythm, with clear strokes and small finishing serifs that reinforce an engraved, print-like texture.
Well suited to book typography, magazine layouts, and long-form editorial where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve in branding and headline settings when a formal, established character is needed, and its crisp contrast helps it stand out in print-oriented compositions.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting refinement and authority without excessive ornament. Its contrast and sharp terminals give it an editorial polish suited to formal communication and traditional typography.
Designed to provide a conventional, high-contrast serif voice with a polished, print-classic feel. The intent appears to balance elegance and readability by combining sharp detailing with disciplined proportions and steady rhythm across cases and numerals.
Curves are round but controlled, with slightly pointed stress in places that adds a subtle calligraphic flavor. The punctuation and symbols in the sample text sit comfortably alongside letters, maintaining a consistent vertical rhythm and a clean, composed page color at text sizes.
