A crisp, high-contrast serif with strongly bracketed wedges and tapered terminals. The design shows pronounced thick–thin modulation, especially in curved letters, with fine hairlines and sturdy vertical stems. Serifs are sharp and triangular in feel, giving a slightly calligraphic, chiseled finish rather than blunt slabs. Proportions are traditional and text-oriented, with compact lowercase forms, clear counters, and numerals that sit comfortably with the overall rhythm.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial environments where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also scales effectively for headlines and subheads, where the sharp serifs and contrast can add elegance and emphasis without becoming decorative.
The tone is classic and literary, with an editorial polish that reads as serious and established. Its sharp serifs and bright contrast add a sense of formality and authority, suitable for traditional publishing and institutional communication.
The design intent appears to be a conventional, publication-ready serif that balances classic proportions with crisp contrast for clear typography. It aims for dependable readability and a timeless voice, while adding refinement through sharp serif shapes and controlled modulation.
Uppercase characters carry a stately presence with clean, disciplined spacing, while the lowercase maintains an even, readable texture. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright. The figures are clear and conventional, with contrast and serif treatment consistent with the letters.
