A crisp, high-contrast serif with bracketed wedge-like serifs and a steady, upright stance. Strokes transition sharply from thick to thin, especially in curved letters and joins, giving the face a bright, engraved clarity while keeping proportions conventional for continuous reading. Counters are clean and moderately open, terminals are neatly finished, and the overall rhythm is even, with capitals showing strong vertical emphasis and a slightly more delicate hairline presence in cross-strokes.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where contrast and serif detail can shine at text sizes. It also works for headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding applications that benefit from a classic, print-oriented voice.
The tone is traditional and cultivated, suggesting established print typography and careful typesetting. It feels formal without being ornate, projecting a composed, bookish authority appropriate for serious or literary contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances refinement with practicality. Its controlled contrast, bracketed serifs, and disciplined spacing aim to deliver a familiar literary texture while remaining versatile for both body copy and display settings.
The figures follow the same contrast and serif logic as the letters, with clear shapes and a classic lining feel in the sample. The alphabet shows consistent serif treatment across straight and curved forms, reinforcing a cohesive text-family personality.
