A classic text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show generous horizontal proportions and an open, steady rhythm, with strong vertical stress and finely tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and controlled, while joins and serifs stay sharp, giving the face a clean, engraved-like finish. Numerals and capitals carry substantial presence, and the lowercase maintains clear counters and readable apertures at display-to-text sizes.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, especially in print or high-resolution digital. It also works effectively for magazine features, section heads, and formal branding that benefits from a traditional, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is traditional and serious, with an editorial polish that reads as established and trustworthy. Its contrast and crisp detailing add a slightly dramatic, cultured feel—suited to refined, literary settings rather than casual or playful ones.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for comfortable reading with a refined, editorial character. Its wide stance and crisp detailing suggest a focus on clarity and elegance in both continuous text and prominent display lines.
In the sample text, the contrast and sharp serifs create a strong texture and clear word shapes, especially in capitals and rounded letters. The spacing appears balanced for continuous reading while still feeling headline-capable due to the sturdy capitals and confident verticals.
