A crisp, high-contrast serif with narrow hairlines, weighty verticals, and finely bracketed serifs that end in sharp, tapered terminals. The proportions feel traditional and evenly paced, with moderate letterfit and a steady baseline rhythm. Round letters show smooth, slightly pointed joins and controlled modulation, while diagonals (V, W, Y) are clean and taut. The lowercase is compact and orderly with a two-storey “g,” a balanced “a,” and a restrained, readable texture in text sizes; numerals are lining with clear contrast and classic shapes.
Well-suited to book typography, essays, and other long-form reading where a classic serif texture is desired. It also fits editorial layouts, cultural or academic materials, and formal stationery where a refined, traditional voice supports the content.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, with a reserved elegance that reads as traditional and trustworthy. Its sharp serifs and bright contrast lend a sense of formality and editorial polish rather than friendliness or play.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances elegance with readability, aiming for a timeless page color and an authoritative, literary presence.
The ampersand and punctuation carry the same crisp modulation and tapered finishing, helping the design feel consistent across text. Curves and terminals avoid exaggerated quirks, favoring a disciplined, conventional character with a slightly calligraphic edge.
