This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, bracketed wedge serifs and a measured, traditional axis. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow in feel, with sharp terminals and clean joins that keep the silhouette crisp. The lowercase maintains a steady text rhythm with compact bowls, a two-storey a, and a double-storey g, while the numerals follow an old-style sensibility with varied widths and lively curves. Overall spacing appears even and the forms stay disciplined, favoring clarity and contrast over softness.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired, and it can also serve well for print titles and section headings that benefit from contrast and crisp serif detail. Its conservative proportions and clear forms make it appropriate for academic or institutional typography in both body copy and display at moderate sizes.
The tone is classic and editorial, suggesting a literary, institution-friendly voice. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast add a sense of authority and refinement, making the texture feel composed and traditional rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional, dependable text serif with an elevated, print-oriented finish. It balances readability with a refined, high-contrast character to provide a classic page color and authoritative presence in editorial contexts.
Diagonal strokes (notably in V, W, and Y) taper decisively into pointed serifs, contributing to a crisp sparkle at larger sizes. Curved letters like C, G, O, and Q are round but controlled, avoiding overly calligraphic flourish while still feeling dynamic in text.
