A classic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Letterforms feel gently tapered and carefully proportioned, with clear vertical stress and clean, sharp terminals. Capitals are stately and moderately wide, while lowercase shows a traditional text rhythm with compact bowls and relatively narrow joins. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, reading cleanly with a slightly old-style, book-oriented texture rather than a geometric or monolinear build.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and institutional or academic materials where a conventional serif voice is desired. It can also serve in display roles—chapter titles, pull quotes, and headlines—where its high contrast and sharp serifing add elegance and emphasis.
The overall tone is traditional and serious, evoking print-era editorial typography. Its contrast and sharpness suggest refinement and authority, giving text a composed, literary voice rather than a casual or playful one.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-forward text serif that balances readability with a polished, classical finish. Its controlled contrast and disciplined serif treatment aim to deliver a dependable, authoritative texture across paragraphs and larger setting alike.
In running text the face creates a bright, structured page color: strong verticals, clear serifs, and deliberate stroke transitions produce a confident cadence. Curves (C, O, e) are smooth and controlled, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) remain crisp without feeling overly decorative.
