A classic serif with bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation that gives strokes a crisp, engraved clarity. Proportions feel balanced and text-oriented, with moderate ascenders and descenders and a steady, even rhythm across the alphabet. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals are clean, and counters stay open for comfortable reading. The numerals align neatly with the text color, and the overall spacing appears well-paced for continuous setting.
Well-suited to body text in books, long-form editorial, and print-like layouts where a familiar serif voice improves readability. It also fits reports, essays, and traditional branding materials that benefit from a formal, established typographic tone.
The font conveys a traditional, bookish tone—measured and authoritative rather than expressive. Its high-contrast detailing and conventional forms suggest refinement and editorial seriousness, lending a composed, trustworthy voice to longer passages and formal messaging.
Designed to serve as a dependable, conventional text serif that balances clarity with refined contrast, aiming for comfortable long-form reading while retaining a polished, classical presence.
In paragraph setting, the texture reads crisp and slightly bright due to the contrast, while still maintaining an even baseline and consistent serif treatment. Capital forms feel stately without becoming overly wide, and the lowercase maintains a calm, conventional rhythm appropriate for text.
