A classic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp bracketed serifs. The letterforms are upright and well-proportioned, with a steady rhythm and moderate spacing that reads comfortably in paragraph settings. Serifs are finely tapered rather than blocky, and terminals tend toward clean, slightly sharp finishes. The lowercase shows a traditional two-storey a and g, clear ball terminals on forms like j, and a compact, readable texture that stays even across lines.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, articles, and magazine layouts, where its contrast and disciplined proportions produce a familiar, comfortable texture. It also works effectively for refined headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural branding that benefits from a traditional, authoritative serif voice.
The overall tone is literary and composed, projecting a sense of tradition and credibility. Its high-contrast detailing and tidy finishing give it a refined, editorial feel suited to serious, content-forward communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and careful finishing, balancing classic book typography cues with enough crispness to hold up in display sizes. Its consistent rhythm suggests a focus on readability and a dependable editorial tone rather than novelty styling.
Capitals have a dignified presence with clear classical structure (notably the Q with a distinctive sweeping tail). Numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic, with smooth curves and modest flourishes that keep them consistent with text. The sample paragraph maintains a stable color and legibility, with punctuation and the ampersand blending naturally into the text voice.
