A traditional serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show a steady, upright stance with slightly calligraphic shaping, including gently curved joins and tapered stroke endings. Capitals are broad and stately with strong verticals, while the lowercase maintains clear, open counters and compact, well-controlled spacing. Numerals follow the same contrasty rhythm, with rounded forms and sharply defined terminals that keep figures crisp at display sizes.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial settings where a classical serif texture is desired, and it also performs convincingly for headlines, pull quotes, and refined print pieces such as programs or invitations. The contrast and sharp terminals give it extra presence when set larger, while the steady proportions keep it composed in continuous text.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a measured formality that suggests established editorial typography. Its high-contrast rhythm and sharp finishing details lend a confident, authoritative voice without feeling ornate.
Designed to provide a conventional, trustworthy serif voice with enough contrast and crispness to feel refined. The intent appears to be a versatile reading face that can also step into display roles through its strong capital presence and polished finishing.
The face balances sturdy vertical stems against delicate hairlines, creating a lively texture in paragraphs. Serifs are neither slabby nor overly ornamental, and the detailing stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, supporting a cohesive reading color.
