A classic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a traditional, slightly calligraphic stress—most evident in the rounded capitals and the smooth, tapered joins in C, G, O, and Q. Proportions are balanced and text-friendly, with moderate spacing and open counters that keep paragraphs readable. The lowercase includes oldstyle cues such as a two-storey a, a double-storey g with a compact ear, and a lively, descending y; numerals appear lining with clear, sturdy shapes and distinct terminals.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve refined branding, invitations, and headlines, especially when paired with generous leading and careful tracking to let the contrast and serifs read cleanly.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and established editorial design. It reads as confident and composed, with enough contrast and sharpness to feel elegant without becoming delicate.
Designed to deliver a conventional, dependable text serif with a polished, high-contrast finish. The intent appears to balance classic bookish authority with clear, contemporary reproduction in both paragraph settings and display-sized excerpts.
Capitals are relatively stately and evenly weighted, while the lowercase carries more movement in its curves and entry/exit strokes, creating a comfortable text rhythm. The punctuation and figures align with the same high-contrast, serifed logic, supporting continuous reading and structured layouts.
