A high-contrast serif with a restrained, transitional feel and crisp, bracketed serifs. Stems are firm and vertical while hairlines and cross-strokes thin down noticeably, giving the letterforms a bright, engraved rhythm on the page. Proportions are balanced and text-oriented, with moderate widths, open counters, and smooth curves; capitals read stately without becoming overly wide, and the lowercase maintains an even, comfortable texture for continuous reading.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial settings where a traditional serif texture is desired, and it also performs convincingly for magazine headlines and refined typographic branding. The strong contrast and sharp detailing particularly reward medium-to-large sizes in print-like layouts.
The tone is classic and literary, with a composed formality that suggests traditional print typography. Its sharp hairlines and clean terminals add refinement, while the overall construction remains familiar and authoritative rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional, modernized text serif that delivers a familiar reading rhythm while adding elegance through pronounced contrast and carefully shaped serifs.
In the sample text, spacing and color stay steady across mixed-case lines, and the high contrast is most prominent at larger sizes where the hairlines appear especially crisp. Numerals and capitals share the same disciplined, print-like construction, reinforcing a cohesive, editorial voice.
