This serif face shows pronounced thick–thin contrast with crisp, bracketed serifs and largely vertical stress. Capitals are stately and fairly broad, with clean interior spaces and tapered terminals that feel controlled rather than ornamental. The lowercase keeps a traditional book rhythm: rounded forms with open counters, a two-storey "a" and "g," and tidy joins that maintain clarity in text. Numerals follow the same classic model, balancing sturdy stems with elegant curves and consistent contrast.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. The crisp contrast and broad capitals also make it effective for pull quotes, section titles, and refined branding applications that benefit from a traditional, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, suggesting print heritage and careful typesetting. Its sharp contrast and structured serifs lend an authoritative, literary feel that reads as formal without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for comfortable reading and polished publishing work, balancing classical proportions with clean, modern precision in its serifs and terminals.
In the sample text, the face holds a steady horizontal rhythm with clear word shapes and distinct letterforms, particularly in the bowls and diagonals. The contrast and sharp terminals become more prominent at larger sizes, giving headings a polished, engraved-like presence while remaining recognizable as a conventional text serif.
