A traditional serif with pronounced contrast between thick and thin strokes and clean, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a measured, bookish rhythm: round characters are smoothly modeled with crisp terminals, while stems and horizontals stay disciplined and straight. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with sharp apexes and clear internal space; the lowercase features a compact, readable skeleton with sturdy joins and neatly finished entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and clear differentiation across figures.
Well-suited to body text in books, long-form editorial, and magazine typography where a refined serif texture is desired. It also fits headlines, pull quotes, and section titles that need a classic, authoritative presence without becoming overly ornamental.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, leaning toward an editorial, literary voice rather than a casual one. Its sharp serifs and refined contrast convey seriousness, tradition, and authority, while the smooth curves keep it from feeling rigid or mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, high-contrast reading face with a timeless, print-oriented character. It prioritizes clarity and an even text color while providing enough refinement in serifs and modulation to feel premium in editorial settings.
Spacing in the sample text reads open and steady, supporting long lines without looking cramped. The design maintains consistent stroke modulation across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, giving paragraphs a cohesive, polished texture.
