A crisp, high-contrast serif with bracketed wedge serifs and a traditional, text-oriented skeleton. Strokes move from sturdy verticals into fine hairlines, creating a sharp light–dark rhythm that reads as polished rather than decorative. Proportions feel moderately compact with steady spacing, and the lowercase shows a familiar, workmanlike structure with clear counters and a conventional x-height. The numerals and capitals align with the same restrained, book-seriffed logic, with oldstyle-style figures that sit comfortably in running text.
This font is well suited to book typography, magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts, and other longform reading where a conventional serif voice is desired. It also scales well for titles, pull quotes, and formal collateral that benefits from a crisp, high-contrast serif presence.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, conveying formality and authority in a way that feels at home on printed pages. Its high-contrast detailing adds a refined, slightly traditional flavor suited to serious or literary settings rather than playful branding.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes familiar letterforms and a clean, high-contrast rhythm for comfortable reading, while also offering enough refinement to carry headings and editorial display sizes.
Serif terminals are consistently sharp and bracketed, and the contrast is pronounced enough to give headings a crisp snap while still keeping the lowercase shapes steady for paragraph use. The italics are not shown; all samples appear upright.
