A conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show sturdy vertical stress, narrow-to-moderate joins, and clean, sharp terminals that give the design a slightly incisive edge. Capitals are broad and authoritative with ample internal counters (notably in O, Q, and D), while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with compact apertures and clearly defined shoulders. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with strong verticals, neat serifs, and distinct shapes that read well at text and display sizes.
Well-suited to book and magazine typography where a traditional serif texture and clear hierarchy are needed. The strong capitals and crisp contrast make it effective for headlines, chapter openers, pull quotes, and formal print materials, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable rhythm in paragraphs.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a formal, editorial voice. Its high contrast and crisp finishing convey refinement and seriousness, leaning toward traditional print typography rather than casual or contemporary expression.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-oriented text serif that balances readability with a more polished, high-contrast finish. It aims to deliver a familiar literary feel with enough sharpness to hold up in editorial settings and larger display use.
Round letters keep a smooth, controlled curvature, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) end in sharp, confident points. The sample text shows an even texture for continuous reading, with capitals that feel especially suited to headings and emphasized passages.
