A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, bracketed serifs, and crisp, knife-like terminals. Capitals are stately and relatively narrow with generous interior counters; curves show a clear vertical stress. Lowercase forms are compact and traditional, with a two-storey “g,” a modestly sized x-height, and crisp joins that keep the texture clean. Numerals are lining-style in feel, with strong contrast and open shapes that match the cap rhythm.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a refined, traditional tone and strong typographic contrast.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking book typography and established editorial design. Its sharp serifs and controlled contrast add a sense of authority and refinement, making text feel formal and considered rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances elegance with clarity. Its proportions and detailing aim to deliver a familiar, literary voice while providing enough sharpness and contrast to feel premium in display use.
In setting, the face maintains an even, upright rhythm with clear differentiation between characters (notably I/J and O/Q), and the pointed apexes in letters like A and V contribute to a precise, slightly dramatic color. The design reads best when allowed enough size or resolution for the fine hairlines and delicate serifs to hold.
