This serif typeface features crisp, bracketed wedge serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation that gives strokes a polished, high-contrast rhythm. Proportions feel compact and economical, with relatively tight letter widths and clean, upright construction. Curves are smoothly drawn with a controlled vertical stress, while joins and terminals remain sharp and precise, producing a slightly engraved, print-like finish. Numerals and capitals align with the same disciplined contrast and narrow stance, maintaining a consistent, orderly texture in lines of text.
Well-suited to literary and editorial typography such as book interiors, essays, and magazine features where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also work effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal display settings where its contrast and sharp serifs can add sophistication.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, projecting authority and a bookish, editorial sensibility. Its sharp detailing and strong contrast read as refined and formal, suggesting seriousness rather than casualness.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, print-oriented serif with a refined high-contrast structure and compact proportions, balancing readability with a distinctly formal, classic character.
In text, the strong modulation and pointed serifs create a lively sparkle, especially at larger sizes, while the compact widths help set dense lines without feeling overly compressed. The italic is not shown; all examples appear roman/upright.
