A crisp, high-contrast serif with bracketed serifs and a vertically oriented stress. The letterforms show a firm, upright stance with sharp, clean terminals and a measured rhythm that stays calm in continuous text. Uppercase proportions are moderately wide with generous counters, while the lowercase keeps a conventional x-height and clear ascender/descender structure. Numerals appear oldstyle in character (varying heights with ascenders/descenders), reinforcing a traditional, print-oriented texture.
Well suited to book and magazine typography, essays, and other editorial settings where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also serve effectively for chapter openings, pull quotes, and dignified headlines that benefit from high contrast and crisp finishing.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an editorial seriousness suited to established institutions and long-form reading. Its contrast and refined detailing bring a formal, slightly historic flavor without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-classic serif that prioritizes readability and a familiar, authoritative typographic voice, with added refinement from pronounced contrast and carefully shaped serifs.
In the sample paragraph, the face maintains a strong typographic color and consistent spacing at larger text sizes, where the contrast and serif detailing read as deliberate and authoritative. The italic is not shown; all specimens appear roman/upright.
