This typeface is a high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered strokes and bracketed wedge-like serifs that give the letterforms a chiseled, bookish finish. Capitals are proportioned with restrained widths and clean vertical stress, while the lowercase shows a traditional structure with a two-storey “a” and “g,” compact apertures, and a slightly modulated rhythm through stems and joins. Curves are smooth but end in sharp terminals, and the numerals follow the same refined contrast, with a clearly legible “0” and a straight, simple “1.” Overall texture in paragraph settings reads polished and even, with pronounced thick–thin transitions that add sparkle without becoming ornamental.
It performs well for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. The contrast and crisp terminals also make it effective for display use such as headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding in print or high-resolution digital settings.
The tone is classic and authoritative, with a composed, traditional feel associated with print publishing. Its sharp serifs and high-contrast modulation add a sense of refinement and ceremony, making it feel suited to serious, text-forward communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances readability with a polished, high-contrast elegance. It aims to deliver a familiar literary tone while providing enough stroke modulation and sharp detailing to feel elevated in editorial and display contexts.
The italic is not shown; the sample indicates consistent spacing and a stable baseline in running text, with capitals that integrate smoothly into mixed-case settings. The forms lean toward a transitional-to-modern impression due to the strong contrast and crisp finishing, while retaining familiar, conventional text serif shapes.
