A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and fuller vertical stems, producing a sharp, engraved-like texture on the page. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-leaning, with clean joins and a slightly sculpted feel at terminals. Uppercase forms are broad and steady with classic proportions, while lowercase shows clear stroke modulation and compact, traditional shapes; counters remain open enough to hold up in text. Numerals share the same contrast and serif treatment, with an old-style flavor in their curving, calligraphic stress and varied widths.
Well-suited to book interiors, long-form editorial, and literary publishing where a conventional serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly for titles, pull quotes, and formal branding applications that benefit from high-contrast elegance and a traditional typographic color.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, suggesting heritage printing and careful typesetting. Its contrast and sharp serifs add a sense of ceremony and authority, while the rounded bowls and bracketed details keep it from feeling harsh.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and crisp detailing, balancing readability with a more polished, print-classical character. Its forms aim to evoke established publishing traditions while remaining versatile across text and display settings.
The sample text shows a strong rhythm with pronounced thick–thin transitions and a slightly dramatic presence at larger sizes. Letterforms like the open, sweeping Q and the brisk, pointed diagonals in V/W/X contribute to a confident, classical voice.
