A traditional serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms are upright and relatively wide, with generous counters and a steady horizontal rhythm. Curves transition sharply into thin hairlines, while verticals carry most of the weight, giving the face a clear, high-definition silhouette. Terminals are clean and slightly calligraphic, and the overall texture reads composed and even at text sizes.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding that benefits from a traditional, authoritative look.
The tone is classic and bookish, conveying formality and authority without feeling ornamental. It suggests editorial seriousness—suited to institutions, publishing, and contexts where credibility and tradition are part of the message.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable text serif with elevated contrast and refined detailing, balancing strong structure with elegant hairlines to produce a polished, literary impression in both display and paragraph settings.
Uppercase shapes feel dignified and stable, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation and comfortable spacing for continuous reading. Numerals match the serifed, high-contrast construction and align visually with the text, supporting a consistent typographic voice across headings and body copy.
