A conventional serif design with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed serifs. The capitals are sturdy and relatively wide, with crisp, slightly tapered stems and sharp, clean terminals. Lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height with compact bowls and clearly defined joins, while long ascenders and descenders add vertical elegance. Overall spacing feels even and readable, with consistent stroke rhythm that holds together well in continuous text.
Well-suited to book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar, literary serif voice is desired. It also works for formal headings, pull quotes, and print-oriented typography that benefits from a refined, high-contrast texture.
The tone is classic and authoritative, leaning toward traditional book typography and academic or institutional polish. Its high-contrast rhythm and sharp finishing details convey refinement and seriousness rather than casualness.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif that balances elegance with clarity, using strong contrast and bracketed serifs to create a classic reading rhythm for sustained content.
Figures appear lining with clear, traditional shapes (notably the curved 2 and open 4), matching the text-like proportions. The design reads best when allowed a bit of size or leading so the contrast and fine connections don’t crowd, while still maintaining a crisp page color in paragraphs.
