This serif typeface shows strong thick–thin modulation with crisp, bracketed serifs and pointed, wedge-like terminals. Uppercase forms are stately and fairly narrow in feel, with an elegant vertical stress and compact counters (notably in C, G, and S). The lowercase is compact with a moderate x-height, sturdy stems, and rounded bowls that taper into sharp exits; the a is double-storey and the g is double-storey with a prominent lower bowl. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with a traditional 2 and 3, a sharply angled 7, and an 8 with tight waist and pronounced stroke contrast.
It fits well in editorial layouts, book typography, and long-form reading where a classic serif texture is desirable. The crisp contrast and sculpted terminals also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding applications that call for a traditional, established tone.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a bookish, editorial voice. Its sharp finishing and pronounced contrast add a sense of refinement and seriousness, leaning more formal than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances classic proportions with crisp detailing. It aims to deliver a composed reading rhythm while still offering enough sharpness and contrast to feel polished in display settings.
Spacing appears compact in the sample text, creating a dense, confident texture suited to continuous reading at comfortable sizes. The design’s sharp serifs and tapered details suggest it benefits from adequate resolution and size so the fine strokes don’t disappear in reproduction.
