A crisp serif with bracketed serifs, vertical stress, and pronounced thick–thin contrast. Capitals are broad and steady with slightly flared terminals, while the lowercase shows sturdy stems, open counters, and a moderate x-height that keeps text color even. Numerals follow the same sharp, print-oriented construction, with clear curves and strong joins that read cleanly at display and text sizes.
Works well for long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif rhythm supports comprehension. It can also serve as a strong headline or pull-quote face, especially where a classic, print-centric voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, suggesting established print typography rather than overt stylistic novelty. Its contrast and disciplined proportions lend a composed, authoritative voice suited to formal communication.
Designed to deliver a dependable, conventional serif texture with enough contrast and crispness to feel polished in contemporary layouts. The goal appears to be comfortable readability paired with a formal, editorial presence.
The italics are not shown; the samples indicate a consistent, slightly calligraphic modulation in curves and joins without becoming ornate. Letterforms like the two-storey ‘a’ and ‘g’ and the strong ‘Q’ tail reinforce a conventional reading-first design approach.
