A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a disciplined, print-oriented rhythm. Stems are firm and vertical with fine, tapered hairlines in joins and terminals, creating a clear thick–thin pattern across rounds and diagonals. Uppercase forms feel stately and proportioned, with moderate widths and clean, slightly sculpted curves; the lowercase maintains a steady texture with compact counters and neatly finished terminals. Numerals align comfortably with the text color, showing clear differentiation and classic proportions.
Well suited to extended reading in books, essays, journals, and other editorial settings where a traditional serif voice and strong typographic hierarchy are desired. It also works effectively for academic and legal documents, formal correspondence, and headings where a classic, authoritative tone is appropriate.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, projecting authority and editorial seriousness. Its sharp finishing and controlled contrast add a refined, slightly ceremonial feel suited to established institutions and classic publishing aesthetics.
Designed to deliver a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and polished finishing, balancing readability with a dignified, print-classical character. The intent appears focused on dependable editorial performance while maintaining a refined, historically informed look.
Curves and bowls are drawn with smooth, even modulation rather than abrupt stress shifts, and terminals tend toward restrained, wedge-like finishing rather than exaggerated swashes. The lowercase shows a conventional construction with a sturdy baseline presence and clean punctuation, supporting long-form reading without calling attention to novelty.
