A classic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, sharp hairlines, and bracketed wedge-like serifs. The proportions are balanced and bookish, with open counters and a steady rhythm that stays legible in paragraph settings. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals feel crisp, and the overall color on the page is clean and slightly elegant rather than dense or heavy.
Well-suited to books, long-form articles, and magazine layouts where an established, literary serif is expected. It also works effectively for institutional or cultural materials—reports, programs, and exhibition text—along with headlines and pull quotes that benefit from crisp contrast and classical styling.
This typeface conveys a literary, editorial tone with a calm sense of tradition. Its crisp contrast and disciplined structure feel formal and credible rather than casual, lending an air of refinement without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended for comfortable continuous reading while retaining a polished, classical voice. Its contrast and serif detailing are tuned to give text a refined texture and clear word shapes, supporting a composed, authoritative typographic presence.
The uppercase shows a dignified, Roman-inspired stance with strong verticals, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation and sturdy joins. Numerals appear lining and proportional, matching the text rhythm and contrast of the letters for consistent setting in body copy and mixed text.
