A classic text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. Letterforms show a traditional, bookish construction with moderate proportions, open counters, and a steady baseline rhythm. Terminals are mostly sharp and clean, with occasional gently tapered strokes that suggest a subtly calligraphic influence. The lowercase is compact and readable, while capitals are stately and balanced; figures include oldstyle forms that blend naturally with running text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also support refined branding, invitations, and headings when set at larger sizes, especially where a classic, authoritative impression is important.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking printed literature, editorial authority, and institutional polish. Its contrast and sharp serifs add a sense of refinement, while the familiar proportions keep it grounded and dependable for extended reading.
Designed to provide a conventional, highly legible serif for text composition, combining a familiar literary structure with enough contrast and crisp detailing to feel polished in print-like settings.
The serif treatment remains consistent across the alphabet, with decisive top serifs on capitals like T and E and energetic diagonals on V/W/X. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman/upright. The mix of lining-like capitals and text-friendly lowercase, plus oldstyle numerals, reinforces its suitability for continuous prose.
