A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and fuller main strokes, giving a crisp, polished texture on the page. Serifs are finely bracketed and generally wedge-like, with a restrained, traditional construction and clear stroke modulation throughout. Proportions feel balanced and bookish: capitals are stately and slightly narrow, lowercase forms are open and steady, and the numerals echo the same contrast and serif detailing for consistent color in text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a familiar serif voice and clear texture are desired. It also performs effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and chapter openers, where the contrast and refined detailing can add authority without becoming ornamental.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with an editorial seriousness that reads as traditional rather than decorative. Its sharp contrast and neat terminals add a refined, slightly formal character suited to established institutions and literary contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that delivers a traditional reading experience with a more polished, contemporary sharpness. Its consistent modulation and careful serif treatment suggest a focus on legibility and typographic refinement across both display and text sizes.
In the text sample, the face maintains an even rhythm and clean word shapes, with graceful curves in rounds (O, C, e) and confident verticals in stems (H, N, n). The italic is not shown; the displayed style emphasizes clarity through crisp serifs and controlled contrast.
