A high-contrast text face with crisp, bracketed serifs and a disciplined, upright posture. Strokes transition from hairline-thin to strongly weighted verticals, with smooth, round bowls and neatly tapered terminals. Proportions feel moderately condensed with a steady rhythm, while counters stay open and well-shaped; the lowercase shows two-story forms (notably a and g) and a narrow, serifed t with a compact crossbar. Numerals align with the same sharp contrast and clean curves, reading clearly in running text.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine settings where a classic, high-contrast texture is desired. It also performs nicely for display lines—section headers, pull quotes, and branding—when you want a refined, traditional voice.
The overall tone is composed and editorial, projecting a sense of tradition and seriousness without feeling overly ornate. It suggests polished print typography—measured, confident, and quietly authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-oriented reading experience with strong contrast and carefully finished details, balancing elegance with dependable text clarity.
In the sample text, the strong vertical emphasis and fine hairlines create a bright, refined texture at larger sizes, while the compact spacing and controlled curves keep paragraphs orderly. The punctuation and dots appear small and precise, reinforcing a clean, tailored impression.
