A crisp, high-contrast serif with bracketed wedge serifs and a steady, upright stance. Stems are relatively firm while joins and terminals show gentle modulation, giving the outlines a polished, print-like finish. Proportions are balanced with moderate apertures and a tidy, centered rhythm; the lowercase reads comfortably at text sizes, while the capitals carry a more stately presence. Numerals align cleanly with clear differentiation and traditional, text-friendly forms.
Well suited to extended reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and strong typographic color are desirable. It also fits academic and institutional communications, reports, and formal branding applications that benefit from a conventional, dependable tone.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a distinctly editorial and bookish character. It feels trustworthy and established rather than trendy, projecting clarity and authority without becoming ornamental.
Designed to serve as a versatile, traditional text serif that prioritizes readability and a classic publishing aesthetic. The controlled contrast and bracketed serifs suggest an intent to perform reliably in paragraphs while still providing a refined look for headings and pull quotes.
The serif treatment is consistently bracketed and slightly tapered, helping maintain definition in dense setting. Spacing appears even and conservative, supporting continuous reading and giving larger sizes a dignified, engraved-like presence.
