A conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a slightly calligraphic construction: curved strokes swell into stems, terminals are neatly finished, and round characters have smooth, even bowls. Uppercase proportions feel broad and steady, while lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height with clear ascenders and descenders, supporting a comfortable text rhythm. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with open counters and distinct silhouettes.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes thanks to its contrast and crisp finishing, and it can support academic or institutional materials that benefit from a traditional typographic voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography and editorial refinement. Its sharp contrast and confident serifs give it a formal, authoritative voice that reads as established and trustworthy rather than trendy.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances readability with an elegant, high-contrast presence. It aims to deliver a familiar, authoritative page color while adding enough sharpness and sculpting to feel refined in display sizes.
In running text, the spacing and serif rhythm create a recognizable page texture, with strong vertical stems and clean joins that keep characters well differentiated. The ampersand and punctuation inherit the same sculpted, high-contrast detailing, helping headings and pull quotes feel cohesive with body copy.
