A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty stems, using bracketed serifs and tapered terminals for a traditional text rhythm. The proportions are balanced and moderately compact, with a clear hierarchy between thick verticals and fine connecting strokes. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are open, and the overall color stays even across lines of text. Numerals align comfortably with the capitals, and the lowercase shows familiar text-face details such as a two-storey “a” and “g” and a gently angled, calligraphic feel in joins and terminals.
Works well for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also suits magazine typography, pull quotes, and section heads, and can support formal branding systems that rely on classic typographic signals.
The tone is classic and editorial, conveying restraint and credibility rather than playfulness. Its contrast and sharp detailing suggest a refined, slightly formal voice suited to traditional publishing and institutional contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for comfortable text setting with a dignified, print-oriented appearance. Its detailing prioritizes clarity and a polished page color while retaining a recognizable, classic serif voice.
The “Q” uses a prominent tail that adds character without breaking the conservative model. Round letters (O, C, G) read cleanly with consistent stress, while diagonals (V, W, X) keep a crisp, chiseled finish that helps maintain a polished overall texture.
