A classic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and open, with moderately narrow apertures and a steady, even rhythm across text. Capitals are stately and slightly condensed in feel, while the lowercase shows familiar, text-oriented proportions with sturdy verticals and controlled terminals; numerals follow the same high-contrast, serifed logic for a cohesive page color.
Well-suited to editorial and book typography where a classic serif voice is desired, from magazine features to essays and reports. It can also support formal branding and headings, especially when paired with generous leading to showcase the contrast and sharp serifs.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking established book and newspaper typography. Its contrast and sharp finishing details lend a sense of formality and authority without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that prioritizes familiar forms, consistent rhythm, and a composed reading experience for continuous text and polished editorial settings.
In the sample text, the font maintains a clean baseline and consistent spacing, producing a dark, confident texture at larger sizes. The ampersand and punctuation read in a conventional, editorial manner, supporting long-form composition and structured layouts.
