A conventional serif with pronounced stroke contrast, crisp bracketed serifs, and a steady, upright texture. Curves are smooth and controlled, with relatively narrow joins and tapered terminals that give letters a slightly calligraphic, engraved feel. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, clear ascenders/descenders, and well-contained counters that keep words cohesive in continuous text. Numerals and capitals follow the same formal, high-contrast logic, producing a composed, editorial color on the page.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and brand systems that aim for a classic, established impression.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with an air of formality and polish. Its sharp contrast and tidy serifing evoke traditional book typography and institutional communications rather than casual or experimental work.
The font appears designed to deliver a familiar, trustworthy serif presence with elevated contrast and careful detailing, aiming for readability in text while retaining enough refinement for display moments.
Uppercase forms read stately and measured, while the lowercase maintains a compact rhythm suitable for paragraph setting. The design’s contrast and fine details are visually prominent at larger sizes and lend a refined character to headings and pull quotes.
