A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a steady, upright stance. Serifs are bracketing into stems with wedge-like terminals, and the overall construction favors clear, conventional letterforms with slightly generous proportions. Curves are smooth and controlled, with sharp joins and tapered ends that give the design a clean, high-contrast texture in text. Uppercase forms read stately and structured, while the lowercase maintains a measured rhythm with compact bowls and sturdy verticals.
Well-suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where a refined serif texture is desired. It also performs effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from a traditional, authoritative presence.
The tone is classic and formal, evoking traditional publishing and editorial typography. Its high-contrast detail and refined terminals convey authority and a literary, established feel rather than a casual or contemporary voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for comfortable reading and polished composition, balancing sharp detailing with familiar forms for dependable use in formal text and display settings.
In the sample text, the strong vertical stress and sharp serifs produce a distinct, elegant rhythm, especially at larger sizes. Numerals match the text style with similarly crisp contrast and traditional proportions, supporting a cohesive page color.
