A crisp, high-contrast serif with bracketed wedge serifs and a calm, upright stance. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with thin hairlines and tapered terminals that stay clean rather than calligraphically loose. Proportions are balanced with moderate capitals, a fairly traditional lowercase structure, and open apertures that keep counters readable. Curves are smooth and controlled, while joins and serifs add a slightly sharp, engraved feel to the overall rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, long-form publishing, and book typography where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also serve in refined branding and packaging, and in headlines or pull quotes where high contrast and sharp serifs add a sense of tradition and credibility.
The font conveys a traditional, cultivated tone associated with bookish and institutional typography. Its contrast and finely finished serifs suggest formality and editorial polish, giving text a composed, authoritative voice without feeling overly decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and careful finishing, aiming for strong readability while signaling a timeless, literary character. Its disciplined proportions and clean detailing point to use in content-forward settings that benefit from a classic typographic voice.
The figures appear lining with clear contrast and classic shapes, matching the text style rather than introducing modern geometric forms. Uppercase forms feel stately and steady, while the lowercase maintains an even texture suitable for continuous reading at display-to-text sizes.
