A conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and clean, bracketed serifs. The letterforms feel broad and open, with sturdy main stems, tapered joins, and neatly finished terminals that keep edges crisp at display sizes. Uppercase capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows compact, traditional shapes with clear counters and a straightforward rhythm. Numerals are similarly robust, with strong vertical stress and a print-like solidity.
Well suited to editorial typography—magazine headlines, book jackets, chapter titles, and pull quotes—where its contrast and crisp serifs can shine. It can also support formal branding and institutional materials that benefit from a classic serif presence, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, evoking traditional publishing and institutional typography. Its contrast and confident shapes read as formal and editorial rather than casual, giving headlines and pull quotes a serious, established voice.
Designed to deliver a familiar, print-oriented serif voice with strong contrast and sturdy proportions, balancing refinement with enough weight in the main strokes to stay clear and confident. The broad, open letterforms suggest an aim toward impactful reading in headings and editorial settings while keeping a conventional, trustworthy character.
Stroke modulation is consistent across the set, with a noticeable emphasis on verticals and refined hairlines in letters like E, F, T, and the diagonals of V/W. The lowercase ‘a’ and ‘g’ are single-storey, lending a slightly more approachable texture within an otherwise traditional serif framework.
