A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and fuller main strokes, showing a pronounced vertical stress and a stable, upright stance. Serifs are bracketed and neatly tapered, producing a sharp, traditional rhythm without feeling overly ornate. Capitals are broad and monumental, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, readable structure with modest, gently calligraphic modulation. Numerals and punctuation match the same refined contrast and controlled detailing, giving text a clear, even color at display sizes.
Well suited for editorial typography such as magazine headlines, section openers, and pull quotes where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also support book or long-form settings when used at comfortable sizes and spacing, and it fits branding or identity work that calls for traditional credibility.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a composed, authoritative presence that reads as cultured rather than decorative. Its contrast and sharp finishing details add a hint of elegance, making it feel suited to established institutions and classic editorial settings.
The font appears intended as a conventional, classically proportioned serif that balances readability with a refined, high-contrast finish. Its design aims to deliver an established print tradition feel while remaining versatile across both display and text-oriented applications.
The design leans on sturdy verticals and restrained curves, with clean joins and consistent serif treatment across the set. In the sample text, the strong contrast and broad capitals create a confident headline voice while still retaining a conventional text-serif cadence.
