A crisp, high-contrast serif with bracketed serifs and a distinctly vertical stress. The outlines show strong thick–thin modulation, with hairline horizontals and tapered diagonals that give the forms a bright, chiseled look. Capitals are tall and steady with confident stems and carefully flared serifs, while the lowercase keeps a moderate, traditional texture with round bowls, clean apertures, and compact joins. Numerals and punctuation match the same disciplined contrast and sharp finishing, maintaining an even rhythm in running text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and literary layouts, as well as magazine and newspaper-style editorial typography. It also performs nicely for refined headlines, pull quotes, and identity work where a traditional serif voice and a clean, high-contrast finish are desirable.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, projecting formality and editorial polish. Its sharp contrast and poised proportions suggest a refined, authoritative voice suited to traditional publishing and cultured branding.
The design appears intended as a conventional, publication-oriented serif that balances classical proportions with a crisp, modernized contrast. It aims to deliver a disciplined text texture while providing elegant, authoritative emphasis in larger sizes.
Stroke contrast is pronounced enough that the letterforms read especially elegant at display and comfortable text sizes with adequate leading. The design’s crisp terminals and narrow hairlines create a slightly sparkling page color, with capitals that carry strong presence in headings and titling.
