A high-contrast serif with a crisp, print-oriented build: strong vertical stems, finer hairlines, and bracketed wedge-like serifs that end in sharp points. Curves show a traditional vertical stress, and round forms (C, O, Q) are open and steady with clean joins. Lowercase proportions feel moderate with compact bowls and clear counters, while capitals are broad and stately with confident spacing. Numerals and punctuation match the same sharp, chiseled detailing, giving the face a consistent, tightly controlled rhythm in text.
Well-suited to long-form reading and editorial typography where a classic serif voice is expected, especially in books, essays, and magazine layouts. Its contrast and crisp serifs also make it effective for display use—headlines, pull quotes, and identity work—when a refined, traditional tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a polished, editorial feel. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast add a refined, slightly dramatic presence that reads as classic rather than casual.
Likely intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and crisp detailing, balancing readability with a more formal, prestigious character appropriate for editorial and literary settings.
The design leans on sturdy verticals and neatly cut terminals, producing a dark, even color in paragraphs at larger sizes. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a strong roman voice with clear hierarchy potential through size and spacing.
