A high-contrast serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and a strong vertical stress. Curves transition into stems with smooth, calligraphic modulation, while terminals are clean and pointed rather than ball-like. Proportions feel traditionally book-oriented: capitals are stately and evenly set, ascenders are moderate, and the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable rhythm with open counters and clear joins. Numerals and capitals show slightly varied widths that create a natural, textlike cadence rather than a rigidly uniform texture.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and reports, where its traditional rhythm and open counters support comfortable text. It also works effectively for magazine and editorial layouts, pull quotes, and refined headlines where the high contrast can add elegance and hierarchy.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking established publishing and academic typography. Its crisp contrast and tidy detailing give it a polished, authoritative voice suited to formal communication without feeling ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances readability with a refined editorial presence. Its details emphasize disciplined structure and classic proportions to deliver a trustworthy, polished typographic voice.
In text, the contrast reads prominently at larger sizes and creates a bright page with clear vertical emphasis. The letterforms keep a restrained, conventional silhouette—more focused on clarity and poise than on overt personality or display quirks.
