A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and strongly tapered main strokes. The design shows a pronounced thick–thin rhythm, with relatively hairline horizontals and diagonals set against sturdy verticals, producing a clean, engraved feel. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with compact bowls and clear counters; the overall rhythm is steady and text-oriented. Numerals are similarly contrasted and upright, with sharp beaks and terminals that match the letterforms’ serif logic.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and academic or institutional materials where a traditional serif texture is desired. The strong contrast and crisp finishing also make it effective for headlines, section openers, and pull quotes in print and high-resolution digital contexts.
The tone is classic and literary, projecting formality and authority without becoming ornamental. Its sharp serifs and disciplined contrast evoke a traditional bookish voice suited to considered, editorial settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-forward serif with elevated contrast and sharp detailing, balancing readability with a refined, formal presence. Its consistent stroke modulation and restrained proportions suggest an aim toward classic typography rather than expressive novelty.
The glyphs show consistent serif treatment across straight and curved strokes, with pointy, decisive terminals on letters like C, S, and a. Diagonals (notably in V, W, and X) are clean and angular, reinforcing a crisp, slightly engraved character in display sizes while remaining coherent in paragraph settings.
