A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines and prominent vertical stress, showing crisp, bracketed serifs and a polished, print-oriented finish. Proportions read on the wide side, with generous set width and open internal counters that keep large text from feeling cramped. Curves are smooth and tensioned, terminals are clean rather than blunt, and the overall rhythm is steady and conventional with a refined, bookish texture.
Well suited to book typography, magazine layouts, and other editorial settings where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that benefit from high-contrast elegance and a traditional, reputable feel.
The tone is formal and established, with an editorial seriousness associated with traditional publishing and institutional communication. Its sharp contrast and composed detailing add a sense of ceremony and authority, while the open shapes keep it from feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that bridges readability with a more elevated, print-classic presence. Its wide set and crisp serif structure suggest a focus on clear page rhythm and strong typographic hierarchy in editorial compositions.
In the sample text, the contrast creates strong vertical striping and clear hierarchy at larger sizes. The numerals and capitals feel sturdy and composed, while the lowercase maintains a familiar reading pattern suited to continuous text.
