A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed wedges and a strongly classical construction. The round letters show pronounced thick–thin modulation with smooth, rational curves, while straight stems stay firm and vertical. Serifs are compact and sharp, often ending in pointed terminals that add a slightly calligraphic bite without becoming ornate. Proportions are balanced and conventional, with clear counters, steady spacing, and an overall even rhythm that holds together well in continuous text.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine systems where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve for display use—headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding—when you want traditional authority with crisp detail.
The tone is traditional and confident, evoking established publishing and institutional typography. Its sharp serifs and clean contrast feel formal and decisive, while the restrained detailing keeps it comfortably readable and familiar.
Designed to deliver a conventional text-serif reading experience with elevated contrast and sharp finishing, balancing classical proportions with enough edge to stay lively on the page. The overall intent appears to be dependable, publishable typography that can scale from text to prominent titles without losing its composed character.
Uppercase forms read stately and stable, with a prominent, rounded "Q" tail and robust verticals throughout. Lowercase includes a single-storey "g" and a distinctly tailed "y," contributing a slightly old-style flavor within an otherwise straightforward text-serif voice. Numerals appear lining and strongly contrasted, matching the capitals in color and presence.
