A crisp, high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly narrow, with sturdy vertical stems and finely tapered hairlines. Lowercase shows compact, readable proportions with a moderate x-height, rounded bowls, and a two-storey “a” and “g” that keep a traditional text rhythm. Curves and joins are clean and controlled, with terminals that tend toward sharp, calligraphic points rather than blunt cuts, giving the face a polished, print-oriented finish.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine text where a refined serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding applications that benefit from a traditional, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting formality and confidence without becoming ornate. Its sharp serifs and disciplined contrast lend an editorial, established feel suited to serious communication and traditional branding.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances elegance with readability, using strong contrast and sharp serif detailing to create a composed, professional typographic color. It aims to feel established and trustworthy while remaining versatile across text and display settings.
In the sample text, word shapes stay steady at display-to-text sizes, and the punctuation and numerals carry the same crisp contrast and serif detailing. The lining figures appear sturdy and legible, with familiar, conventional forms that match the text serifs’ restrained character.
