A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines, strong vertical stems, and bracketed wedge-like serifs that taper to sharp points. The letterforms show a classical, transitional rhythm with upright posture and measured proportions, pairing sturdy capitals with slightly more calligraphic lowercase details. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are fairly open, and joins on letters like n and m feel firm rather than overly rounded. Numerals and punctuation match the text style, with elegant thins and small finishing strokes that emphasize a polished, print-oriented texture.
Well suited for book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs effectively for literary or institutional titling, pull quotes, and brand systems that need a traditional, upscale tone.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, conveying seriousness and credibility with a distinctly bookish, editorial character. Its sharp, tapered finishing strokes and pronounced contrast add a refined, slightly dramatic flavor that reads as established and cultured rather than casual.
This design appears intended to deliver a conventional, professional serif for reading and formal communication, combining classical proportions with energetic contrast and sharply defined terminals to create a refined, print-like presence.
In text settings, the contrast creates a lively vertical cadence, while the pointed serifs and delicate hairlines bring a crisp edge to word shapes. The design favors clarity and tradition over softness, producing a clean, authoritative page color at display and larger text sizes.
