The rhythm is steady and text-forward, with conventional proportions and a confident, even color in paragraphs.

The consistent paragraph texture also supports editorial settings such as magazine features and book typography, while its weight and contrast make it effective for premium branding and packaging that needs a traditional, trustworthy tone.
