This serif shows crisp, high-contrast strokes with vertical stress and finely bracketed serifs. Capitals are stately and proportioned for text, with moderate widths and clear modulation in bowls and stems. Lowercase forms keep a traditional rhythm, with compact joins and a two-storey “g,” while the overall texture remains even and composed in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same sharp, engraved-like contrast, producing a clean, authoritative line on the page.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also serve headings, pull quotes, and formal print materials that benefit from high-contrast elegance without becoming overly decorative.
The tone is classic and literary, with a polished, bookish formality. Its sharp contrast and restrained detailing suggest tradition and editorial rigor rather than friendliness or play.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a refined, print-oriented voice, balancing sharp contrast and classic proportions to deliver a composed, authoritative reading experience.
Details such as the pointed “W,” the slightly calligraphic terminals in letters like “a” and “c,” and the sturdy, readable counters help it hold up well in continuous reading while still feeling refined in display sizes.
