This serif shows pronounced thick–thin contrast with sharp, clean joins and bracketed wedge-like serifs. Capitals are broad and stately with slightly flared terminals and confident vertical stress, while the lowercase has sturdy, compact bowls and relatively short extenders that keep lines even in text. Curves are smooth and controlled; diagonals and arms end in tapered, angled serifs that give a crisp, engraved feel. Overall spacing reads generous and steady, producing a clear rhythm in paragraphs and a strong silhouette in display sizes.
It performs well for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where the consistent rhythm and crisp serifs support comfortable scanning. The refined contrast also makes it effective for headlines, formal branding, and premium print pieces such as programs, certificates, or invitations.
The tone is traditional and institutional, evoking book typography and editorial publishing. Its high-contrast strokes and decisive serifs lend an elevated, serious voice suited to refined, information-forward design.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances classical proportions with clean, modern production edges. It aims to project credibility and polish while remaining readable and composed in continuous text.
Distinctive details include a two-storey “a,” a double-storey “g” with a pronounced lower loop, and lining figures with strong contrast and clear proportions. The “Q” has a noticeable tail that reinforces the classic, slightly calligraphic character without becoming ornamental.
