This serif shows strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a crisp, high-contrast stroke structure. Capitals have generous width and open counters, with subtly flared terminals that give stems a chiseled, ink-trap-like finish. Lowercase forms are compact but clear, with sturdy verticals, round bowls, and a pronounced two-storey “g,” plus a narrow, pointed “w” and “v” that add rhythmic sparkle. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel with noticeable modulation and angled terminals, keeping the overall texture lively rather than mechanical.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. The strong contrast and assertive serifs also make it effective for display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, and section openers, especially at medium to larger sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking printed book typography and editorial seriousness. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast add a slightly dramatic, formal voice while remaining readable and composed.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a refined, print-oriented character—balancing readability with a distinctive, slightly sharpened serif and terminal treatment for added presence in editorial typography.
Spacing appears comfortably open in the sample text, and the design maintains a consistent serif treatment across caps and lowercase. The italic is not shown; all samples are roman/upright.
