A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a vertical, steady stance. Strokes move from hairline-thin to robust stems, giving the letters a bright, elegant color at larger sizes while retaining clear structure in text. The capitals are stately and wide-set with generous curves (notably in C/O/Q), and the lowercase shows a compact x-height with tall ascenders and descenders that add a traditional rhythm. Counters are open and well-shaped, terminals are clean and minimally tapered, and the figures appear as lining numerals with pronounced thick–thin modulation.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also fits magazine typography, cultural publishing, and upscale packaging or certificates where refined contrast and traditional proportions help convey credibility.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with an editorial formality that feels literary rather than decorative. Its contrast and sharp detailing lend a refined, slightly ceremonial character suited to established institutions and classic publishing aesthetics.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that prioritizes familiar proportions and a classic reading rhythm, while adding polish through sharp serifs and controlled stroke modulation. It balances formality with practicality for editorial typography.
The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a consistent upright roman with strong thick–thin transitions and clear baseline alignment. Letterforms such as the two-storey a and g reinforce a conventional, text-oriented voice, while the Q’s sweeping tail and the crisp serif treatment add a touch of sophistication.
