This serif features strongly bracketed serifs, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and crisp, tapered terminals that create a sharp, print-like texture. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and slightly condensed in impression, with sturdy verticals and neatly controlled curves (notably in C, G, and S). The lowercase shows a compact, bookish rhythm with a two-storey a and g, a modestly sized x-height, and clear aperture management that keeps counters open despite the contrast. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, mixing straight stems with elegant curves and bracketed feet for a cohesive text color.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also performs effectively in headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding applications that benefit from a refined, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, leaning toward literary and institutional rather than casual. Its high contrast and crisp finishing convey seriousness and authority, with a distinctly editorial, print-oriented voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a refined, high-contrast finish—aiming for familiar readability while adding crisp elegance for editorial and formal typography.
Stroke joins are clean and consistent, and the serifs maintain a disciplined, slightly calligraphic taper across the set. In paragraph setting, the face produces a dark, confident texture with clear vertical emphasis and a traditional reading cadence.
