A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a predominantly vertical stress. Stems are sturdy while hairlines and cross-strokes get noticeably thin, creating a sharp, print-like rhythm. Capitals are stately and proportioned with moderate width, and the numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic with clean curves and tapered joins. Lowercase forms are traditional and readable, with compact bowls, clear apertures, and controlled curves that keep texture even in paragraph settings.
Well suited for book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine or newspaper-style design where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly for headlines, pull quotes, and formal titling that benefits from high contrast and a refined silhouette.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with an editorial seriousness that feels at home in bookish and institutional contexts. Its contrast and sharp finishing details add a slightly dramatic, polished character without pushing into ornamental territory.
Designed to deliver a conventional, dependable text-serif reading experience while adding elegance through strong thick–thin modulation and disciplined serif detailing. The intention appears to balance authority and readability, providing a familiar typographic voice for editorial and literary work.
Serifs are finely shaped and consistent, giving lines a stable baseline and a tidy cadence. The contrast makes it look especially crisp at display sizes, while the conventional construction keeps it composed and familiar in continuous text.
