A high-contrast serif with sculpted, bracketed wedge serifs and crisp stroke modulation. The forms are relatively broad with open counters and a steady, upright stance; diagonals and joins show a subtly calligraphic stress that gives the lettershapes a carved, slightly angular finish. Curves terminate in firm, tapered serifs, while vertical stems read strong and clean, producing an even, traditional rhythm in text.
Well-suited to book interiors, magazine layouts, and other editorial contexts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely for headlines, pull quotes, and brand applications that benefit from a refined, authoritative tone and strong typographic color.
The overall tone is classic and formal, with a bookish, editorial presence. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast add authority and a slightly dramatic, old-style elegance without becoming ornamental.
Designed to deliver a conventional text-serif reading experience with heightened contrast and crisp, wedge-like serifs for added presence. The intention appears to balance readability with a more assertive, elegant finish that supports both continuous text and prominent titling.
In the sample text, the face holds together well at display and larger text sizes, with clear word shapes and strong emphasis on capitals. The numerals match the serifed, high-contrast construction, and punctuation feels sturdy and traditional, supporting dense, text-heavy settings.
