A crisp text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, vertical stress, and finely bracketed wedge serifs. Capitals are tall and stately with clean, straight-sided stems and tapered terminals, while the lowercase maintains an even, bookish rhythm and relatively compact bowls. Curves are smoothly drawn and slightly tensioned, counters stay open, and spacing reads measured rather than airy, helping the face hold together in continuous text. Numerals and punctuation match the same disciplined, high-contrast construction for a consistent page color.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a refined serif texture and clear hierarchy are needed. It also works for academic or institutional materials, pull quotes, and headlines that benefit from a classical, high-contrast voice.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a composed, authoritative presence. Its sharp detailing and restrained proportions evoke classic book typography and a polished, institutional feel rather than casual or playful expression.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that delivers a traditional reading experience while adding a touch of sharpness and elegance through high-contrast strokes and finely shaped serifs.
Distinctive cues include pointed apexes in letters like A and V, a compact, balanced S, and a Q with a confident, calligraphic tail. The lowercase shows modest ascenders/descenders and compact joins, giving paragraphs a tidy, controlled texture.
