A classic serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and a crisp, high-contrast stroke model. Curves are smooth and moderately stressed, with rounded joins and subtly tapered terminals that give letters a lightly calligraphic finish. Proportions are traditional: capitals are sturdy and fairly wide, lowercase forms are compact with clear, open counters, and spacing reads even in text. Numerals follow the same serifed construction, mixing straight stems with rounded bowls for a consistent, old-style rhythm.
Well-suited to long-form reading and editorial typography where a familiar serif texture is desired, such as books, magazines, and reports. It also works effectively for formal branding, packaging, and headlines that benefit from a traditional, reputable tone.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, conveying editorial seriousness and a sense of established authority. Its sharp contrast and tidy detailing add a formal, polished voice without feeling ornamental.
Designed to provide a conventional text serif voice with refined contrast and restrained detailing, aiming for comfortable readability alongside a classic, authoritative character.
In the sample text, the face maintains a steady baseline and a consistent color, with punctuation and curves staying clear at display sizes. The round letters (like O, C, and e) show controlled modulation, while diagonals (V, W, X) keep a clean, confident presence.
