A conventional text serif with pronounced stroke contrast and bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a traditional, slightly calligraphic stress, with crisp hairlines, sturdier verticals, and gently flared or tapered terminals. Proportions are balanced and moderately narrow in the capitals, while the lowercase maintains an even, readable rhythm with clearly differentiated shapes and modest apertures. The numerals appear oldstyle in behavior, with varying heights and some descenders, matching the text-centric tone of the alphabet.
Well-suited to extended reading in books and long-form editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also scales effectively for chapter titles, pull quotes, and formal headlines where high contrast and crisp serifs can add elegance and emphasis.
The overall tone feels classical and bookish, projecting authority and polish without becoming ornate. Its sharp detailing and high-contrast rhythm give it an editorial seriousness suited to refined, traditional typography.
Designed to deliver a familiar, time-tested serif voice with a refined, high-contrast drawing optimized for comfortable text rhythm. The styling suggests an intention to echo traditional print typography while remaining clean and contemporary in finish.
Diacritics and punctuation aren’t shown, but within the sample the spacing reads steady and the texture remains consistent across mixed-case text. Distinctive features include a double-storey “g,” a two-storey “a,” and a “Q” with a clear interior tail, all reinforcing a traditional text-face character.
