A traditional serif with pronounced stroke contrast and bracketed serifs that taper to sharp, clean terminals. The letterforms show a controlled, slightly calligraphic rhythm, with moderate proportions and open counters that keep text color even in longer passages. Curves are smooth and rounded while joins remain crisp, and the lowercase includes gently angled stress and subtly flared stems that add a refined texture without feeling ornate.
Well suited to continuous reading in books, long-form editorial layouts, and printed reports where a familiar serif voice supports readability. It also works for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional branding that benefits from a traditional, trustworthy tone.
The overall tone is classic and composed, suggesting book typography and established editorial voice. It reads as thoughtful and authoritative, with a quiet elegance that suits formal communication without appearing stiff.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes clear reading rhythm and typographic familiarity, while using high contrast and careful serif modeling to deliver a polished, classic finish.
Uppercase forms feel stately and balanced, while the lowercase carries most of the warmth through its softer curves and traditional serif shaping. Numerals match the text style, maintaining the same contrast and finishing details for consistent typographic color.
