A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a disciplined, upright structure. Strokes transition from thick verticals to fine hairlines, giving letters a sharp, engraved-like clarity, especially in the diagonals and cross-strokes. Proportions feel balanced and conventional, with steady spacing and a measured rhythm that keeps paragraphs even. Numerals align with the same formal tone, with clear curves and thin terminals that match the text’s contrast.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural branding that benefits from a traditional, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking printed literature and editorial typography. Its sharp contrast and controlled detailing read as formal and polished, lending a sense of credibility and seriousness without becoming ornamental.
Likely designed to provide a conventional, literature-friendly serif voice with elevated contrast and clean detailing, balancing classic page typography with a refined, modern crispness for both text and display use.
Uppercase forms present clean, confident silhouettes suited to titling, while lowercase maintains a steady, readable texture in continuous text. Fine features—like thin crossbars and delicate joins—benefit from adequate size and resolution where the hairlines can remain crisp.
