A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and relatively fine, giving strokes a crisp, engraved feel without becoming brittle. Proportions read as traditional and bookish, with moderate widths and steady spacing; round letters (O, Q) are full and smooth, while verticals in letters like H, I, N, and n feel firm and upright. Lowercase forms show open bowls and clear apertures, with a two-storey a and g, and sturdy, slightly flared stems that maintain clarity in text.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly in display applications—magazine headlines, section openers, and formal materials—where its contrast and sharp serifs can add sophistication without sacrificing legibility.
The overall tone is classical and authoritative, evoking printed literature, established institutions, and careful editing. Its contrast and sharp finishing details add a sense of refinement and ceremony, while the calm rhythm keeps it suitable for sustained reading.
Designed to deliver a conventional, highly readable serif with a polished, print-oriented character. The combination of high contrast, bracketed serifs, and restrained proportions suggests an aim for timelessness and authority across both text and display settings.
Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with strong vertical stress and clean, sculpted curves; figures like 2, 3, and 5 feel lively yet controlled. The sample text shows a consistent texture at larger sizes, with distinct word shapes and clear punctuation that supports editorial composition.
