A classic serif with sharply defined, bracketed serifs and pronounced stroke contrast. Curves are smooth and round with tapered terminals, while verticals feel steady and dominant, creating a clear baseline rhythm. Proportions are moderately narrow with compact counters in some letters, and spacing reads even in text. The lowercase shows traditional forms (two-storey a and g) and a restrained, well-balanced texture suitable for continuous reading.
Works well for long-form reading in books, reports, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture and strong hierarchy are desired. It also suits formal branding and stationery that benefit from a traditional, established tone, especially in headings and pull quotes at larger sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with a quiet authority typical of book and institutional typography. Its crisp contrast and conservative shapes convey seriousness and editorial polish rather than novelty or informality.
Designed to provide a conventional, highly legible serif voice with strong contrast and classical proportions, aimed at dependable text setting and formal composition. The consistent construction across letters and figures suggests a focus on readability, typographic tradition, and clean print reproduction.
Numerals align with the same high-contrast logic, using open shapes and clear differentiation at display sizes. Capitals have a dignified presence with classic Roman construction, and the italic is not shown, reinforcing an overall straightforward, upright text voice.
