A classic serif with sharply defined, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms feel open and generously proportioned, with broad capitals and steady vertical stress. Curves terminate cleanly, counters are roomy, and the overall rhythm is even and readable in continuous text. Numerals and capitals share the same restrained, book-oriented construction, with crisp joins and a composed, traditional silhouette.
Well suited to book and long-form reading, where its open counters and consistent rhythm support comfortable scanning. It also works effectively for magazine and editorial layouts, chapter heads, and formal printed materials that benefit from a classic, established serif tone.
The tone is polished and literary, projecting authority without feeling ornate. Its high-contrast strokes and tidy finishing details suggest an editorial voice—measured, confident, and historically grounded.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances readability with a refined, high-contrast finish. It aims to deliver a familiar, trustworthy texture on the page while maintaining enough crispness to hold up in headings and typographic pull quotes.
Uppercase forms have a slightly monumental presence, while lowercase shapes stay calm and straightforward, supporting long passages. The overall impression is of a text-first serif with enough contrast to feel elegant in display sizes as well.
