A classic text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The capitals feel stately and evenly proportioned, with a slightly calligraphic, vertical-stress rhythm that keeps strokes lively without becoming ornamental. Lowercase forms are open and legible, with sturdy stems, clear joins, and smooth curves; the overall spacing reads comfortable and steady in continuous text. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures, integrating naturally with lowercase by varying height and alignment.
Well suited to book interiors, long-form editorial, and print-forward layouts where a traditional serif texture supports sustained reading. It also works effectively for headlines and section openers when a formal, established look is desired, especially in cultural, academic, or institutional contexts.
The font conveys a traditional, bookish tone—measured, authoritative, and polished. Its contrast and sharp finishing details add a touch of formality that suits serious, established voices rather than casual or playful messaging.
Designed to deliver a conventional, highly readable serif voice with enough contrast and finishing sharpness to feel premium in print. The forms prioritize familiar proportions and stable rhythm, aiming for trustworthy text performance while retaining a refined, classic presence.
Serif shapes are refined rather than chunky, and the contrast gives the face a bright texture on the page at larger sizes. The italic is not shown; the sample suggests the roman is intended to carry long passages with a familiar, conventional reading color.
