A classic serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The capitals are wide and stately with generous internal counters, while the lowercase shows a traditional, bookish rhythm with compact apertures and sturdy verticals. Terminals are generally sharp and slightly flared, and curves transition cleanly into stems, giving a polished, print-oriented texture. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with rounded forms and firm serifs that keep them aligned with the text color.
Well suited to book typography and long-form editorial work where a traditional serif voice is desired, especially in print or high-resolution rendering. It also performs convincingly for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage branding that benefits from a formal, established tone.
The overall tone feels traditional and institutionally familiar, with an editorial seriousness that reads as confident and established. Its high-contrast detailing and refined finishing lend a sense of formality suited to literature, academia, and heritage-leaning branding.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and crisp finishing, aiming to deliver a classic literary feel while remaining strong enough for headings and prominent editorial moments.
In paragraph settings the type builds a dark, authoritative texture, with noticeable vertical emphasis and clear serif cues that help anchor lines. The shapes feel carefully proportioned rather than geometric, producing a conventional reading voice with a slightly dramatic, display-friendly edge at larger sizes.
