A crisp, high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with strong vertical stress and clean, tapered terminals that keep counters open. The lowercase is compact and text-oriented, with a traditional two-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and a narrow “f” whose crossbar sits high, all contributing to a steady reading rhythm. Numerals follow the same refined logic, mixing straight stems with elegant curves and small finishing serifs for a cohesive, bookish color on the page.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, journals, and magazine text where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly in headings, pull quotes, and title treatment, especially in print-leaning layouts that benefit from sharp contrast and classic proportions.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking printed literature and established editorial typography. Its sharp serifs and disciplined contrast read as polished and formal, with a quiet elegance suited to serious content rather than casual or playful applications.
This font appears designed to deliver a conventional, highly readable serif voice with a refined, print-classical finish. The emphasis on contrast, bracketed serifs, and restrained proportions suggests an intention to provide a dependable editorial workhorse with an elevated, literary character.
The design maintains a consistent serif vocabulary across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, with careful stroke endings that feel engraved or press-like. Curved letters (C, G, O, Q) show controlled swelling and tapering, and diagonal forms (V, W, X, Y) are clean and decisive, reinforcing a composed, classical texture.
