A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed wedge serifs and a decidedly vertical posture. Stems are sturdy while hairlines and cross strokes taper to fine points, creating a clear thick–thin rhythm. Capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in impression, with controlled curves and tight joins, while lowercase maintains an even, readable texture with modestly sized counters and a conventional, book-oriented structure. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with strong verticals and delicate finishing strokes that keep them aligned with the text color.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also holds up effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand typography that benefits from a formal, traditional tone.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, with an editorial seriousness that reads as confident and established. Its sharp serifs and brisk contrast add a touch of drama without becoming decorative, lending a composed, institutional feel.
The design appears aimed at delivering a conventional text-serif experience with elevated contrast and sharp detailing, balancing readability with a more pronounced, elegant finish. It’s likely intended to provide a dependable literary voice that can scale from body text to display settings without losing its classic character.
Stroke endings often resolve into pointed terminals, which adds crispness at larger sizes and a slightly brighter sparkle in text. Spacing appears balanced for continuous reading, producing a steady line rhythm in the paragraph sample.
