This is a high-contrast serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and crisp, tapering terminals. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with a largely vertical, book-oriented rhythm and moderate stress, giving counters a clean, open feel. Proportions are fairly traditional with a normal x-height, sturdy capitals, and lowercase forms that mix smooth curves with pointed joins. Details like the ear and bowl connections, the tapered arms, and the sharp serif points contribute to a refined, slightly incisive texture in paragraphs.
Well-suited to book interiors, long-form editorial, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs well for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes that benefit from high-contrast sharpness and a traditional, authoritative tone.
The overall tone feels traditional and composed, with a confident, established presence associated with book typography and institutional communication. Its sharp serif treatment and strong contrast add a hint of drama while remaining conventionally readable.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif reading experience with elevated refinement, using high contrast and crisp serifs to convey tradition and seriousness while keeping the overall forms familiar and legible.
In text, the color is firm and slightly sparkling due to the contrast and pointed serif shapes; this can add elegance at larger sizes while remaining serviceable for continuous reading. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic, maintaining a consistent, classical voice across settings.
