A classic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Curves are generously drawn with smooth transitions into stems, giving counters an open, bookish rhythm. Uppercase forms feel stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies—most notably a two-storey “g” with an ear, a moderate “e” aperture, and a softly modeled “a”. Numerals share the same contrast and include oldstyle figures with varying heights and extenders, reinforcing a text-oriented color.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine features where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for display applications like headlines, pull quotes, and brand marks that call for a traditional, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking printed literature and established editorial design. Its contrast and serif detailing add a sense of seriousness and refinement without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literature-friendly serif with strong contrast and familiar, time-tested proportions, balancing elegance in display sizes with steady rhythm for text setting.
Stroke endings stay sharp and controlled, and diagonal letters (like V, W, X, Y) maintain clean joins and steady stress. The texture in paragraph setting looks even and readable, with punctuation and capitals carrying a dignified presence in larger sizes.
