This serif has sharply tapered, bracketed serifs and pronounced stroke contrast, producing a crisp, sculpted texture on the page. Capitals are broad and steady with clean hairlines and confident vertical stress, while the lowercase shows compact joins and neatly controlled curves. The numerals are similarly high-contrast with elegant modulation and clear, conventional forms. Overall spacing reads even and deliberate, with a polished rhythm suited to continuous text as well as larger display sizes.
It fits long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desirable. The contrast and sharp detailing also support strong headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand typography when set at larger sizes with comfortable leading.
The tone is traditional and editorial, combining formality with a slightly dramatic, print-like elegance. Its high contrast and crisp terminals give it a refined, literary voice that feels at home in established publishing contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, publication-oriented serif that balances traditional proportions with crisp high-contrast detailing. It aims to deliver a familiar, authoritative reading experience while still offering enough sharpness and elegance for display roles.
Round letters (like O, C, and e) keep a consistent stress and maintain open counters despite the contrast, helping legibility in paragraphs. The italic is not shown; all samples present a straight, roman posture with carefully shaped serifs and terminals that add a subtle calligraphic finish without becoming ornate.
