A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a crisp, engraved feel. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, with neatly pointed terminals and a controlled, slightly calligraphic modulation across curves. Proportions read as classical and balanced, with open counters and a steady rhythm in text; round forms are smooth and taut, while joins stay clean and well defined. Numerals and capitals carry a dignified presence, and the overall drawing stays consistent from display sizes down into paragraph settings.
Well suited to book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and elegant brand systems that benefit from sharp contrast and a refined, authoritative look.
The tone is traditional and polished, evoking book typography, institutional gravitas, and editorial sophistication. Its contrast and pointed detailing add a touch of drama without becoming ornate, giving the face a composed, authoritative voice suited to serious content.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and carefully shaped, bracketed serifs—aiming for readability paired with a distinctly classic, editorial elegance. It prioritizes a composed page texture and a timeless typographic presence across both text and display use.
In the sample text, the font maintains clear word shapes and a confident typographic color, with capitals that stand out strongly for headings and titling. The punctuation and dots appear compact and firm, reinforcing the crisp, print-like character.
