A high-contrast serif with bracketed, gently tapered serifs and a traditionally modulated stroke. Curves are smooth and slightly organic, while terminals and joins stay crisp, giving the outlines a clean, print-like finish. Proportions feel classical with moderate counters and a steady rhythm; capitals have dignified width and clear differentiation, and the lowercase maintains an even, readable texture. Numerals follow the same sharp, serifed construction and sit confidently alongside the letters.
This design fits long-form reading such as books and essays, as well as editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding where a traditional, authoritative tone supports the message.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting authority without feeling rigid. It reads as polished and conventional, well suited to serious, editorial voice and familiar typographic tradition.
The font appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances strong contrast and crisp detailing with a familiar, readable rhythm. Its shapes prioritize a timeless, print-oriented character suitable for structured typography and formal communication.
Distinctive details include a compact, double-storey “g”, a sturdy “G” with a defined spur, and a “Q” with a clear, controlled tail. The serifs and contrast create strong vertical emphasis, helping the face hold up well in larger text while maintaining a refined, traditional presence.
