A high-contrast text serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a composed, vertical rhythm. Stems read clean and relatively straight while curves transition into hairline terminals with a controlled, slightly calligraphic modulation. Proportions feel traditional and balanced, with moderate counters and clear differentiation between rounds and straights; capitals are stately without feeling overly wide. In the lowercase, the italic-like movement is minimal (overall remains upright), but there is gentle shaping in joins and terminals that keeps the texture lively at text sizes.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books and reports where a classic serif texture is desired. It also fits editorial layouts—magazines, essays, and culture writing—where sharp contrast and traditional proportions can add sophistication in headings and pull quotes.
The overall tone is refined and literary, evoking traditional book typography and established editorial design. Its sharp hairlines and poised serifs add a sense of formality and precision, while the steady proportions keep it readable and composed.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for comfortable reading and polished publishing work, prioritizing classic proportions, clear letter differentiation, and a composed page color.
The figures follow the same contrast model as the letters, with slender stress and clear, classic silhouettes suited to lining use in text. The sample paragraph shows an even color and consistent spacing, with hairlines staying visible and serifs contributing to a neat, structured baseline.
