A high-contrast serif with bracketed wedge serifs, tapered joins, and a relatively generous set width. Strokes transition sharply from thick verticals to hairline horizontals and serifs, giving a crisp rhythm in both caps and lowercase. The lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies—noticeable modulation and slightly varied, calligraphic counters—while the capitals stay structured and upright with strong vertical emphasis. Numerals match the text color with similarly sharp contrast and clean, open forms.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for display headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding applications that benefit from sharp contrast and a traditional typographic voice.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a composed, authoritative presence. Its sharp contrast and sculpted serifs add a hint of formality and ceremony, evoking classic editorial typography rather than a casual or utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable serif with a refined, high-contrast finish—balancing classic proportions with crisp detailing for polished text and headline use.
In the sample text, the font produces a dense, confident texture at large sizes, with clear hairlines and pronounced serifs that define word shapes. The italic is not shown, and the displayed style reads as a straightforward roman with a refined, slightly oldstyle flavor.
