A high-contrast serif with crisp bracketed serifs, tapered stems, and a lively modulation that reads as calligraphically influenced rather than purely geometric. Proportions are broadly traditional with moderate caps and a normal x-height; lowercase counters are open and the rhythm is steady in text. Terminals and joins are clean and slightly sharp, with distinctive curves in letters like Q and j adding character without becoming ornamental. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, keeping an even, bookish color on the line.
Well-suited to body text in books, long-form editorial, and print-forward layouts where a classic serif texture is desirable. It can also serve headings, pull quotes, and section titles when a formal, traditional tone is needed without excessive ornamentation.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with a polished formality suited to established print conventions. Its sharp, confident finishing details give it an authoritative voice that can feel academic or editorial while still remaining approachable in longer passages.
Designed to deliver a conventional, highly readable text serif with refined contrast and crisp finishing, balancing familiar book typography with a touch of distinctive character in select glyph shapes. The intent appears focused on dependable paragraph setting and clear hierarchy across common editorial needs.
The face maintains a consistent contrast model across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, creating clear hierarchy in mixed-case settings. In the sample text it holds together well at larger sizes, where the stroke modulation and serif detailing become a defining part of the texture.
