This serif shows crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced contrast between thick verticals and finer connecting strokes, giving the forms a sturdy yet refined rhythm. Proportions skew generously wide, with ample internal counters and clear separation between stems, which helps letters stay open at display and text sizes. The curves are smooth and controlled, with confident stress and clean joins; terminals tend to finish sharply rather than softly rounded. Uppercase shapes feel stately and stable, while the lowercase maintains a traditional structure with a moderately sized x-height and distinctly modeled bowls and shoulders.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also performs confidently in headlines, title pages, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding that benefits from a composed, authoritative presence.
The overall tone is classic and formal, with a bookish, editorial voice that feels established and trustworthy. Its strong contrast and crisp serifs add a sense of polish and authority, making it read as traditional rather than trendy.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a refined, high-contrast silhouette and generous proportions, balancing readability with a distinctly formal, print-oriented character.
The numerals appear sturdy and legible, with clear differentiation and strong vertical emphasis. Spacing in the sample text reads even and measured, supporting dense paragraphs without looking compressed, while the wide set lends a spacious, confident texture.
