A crisp, high-contrast roman with clearly bracketed serifs, a vertical stress, and tapered stroke endings. Curves are smooth and round, while joins stay clean and controlled, producing a polished, print-oriented texture. Proportions feel traditional with moderately open counters and firm verticals; capitals are stately and evenly weighted, and the lowercase shows a two-storey “a” and “g” with compact, disciplined forms. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, reading clearly in text while retaining a classical rhythm.
Well suited to long-form reading and editorial typography such as books, magazines, essays, and reports. It also performs confidently for headlines, pull quotes, and titling where its contrast and crisp serifs can add authority and a classical finish.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with an editorial seriousness that suggests credibility and craft. Its sharp contrast and refined terminals give it a slightly ceremonial, literary feel rather than a casual or purely utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable, classical text voice with heightened contrast for elegance, balancing readability with a more refined, publication-ready presence.
In the sample text, the font builds strong word shapes and a steady line rhythm, with punctuation and capitals providing clear hierarchy. The contrast becomes more pronounced at larger sizes, where the fine hairlines and tapered terminals add elegance and definition.
