A high-contrast serif with sharply defined hairlines and sturdy vertical stems, showing clear modulation through curves and joins. Serifs are bracketed and neatly tapered, with a crisp, engraved feel in the terminals and cross-strokes. Proportions are traditional and text-oriented: capitals are balanced and stately, while lowercase forms keep a familiar rhythm with open counters and a steady baseline presence. Numerals align with the same contrast and finish, reading clearly at display sizes and remaining orderly in text.
Well-suited to long-form reading and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired, such as books, journals, and magazines. It also performs convincingly in headlines, pull quotes, and formal communications where contrast and crisp detail add sophistication.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting authority and professionalism without feeling overly decorative. Its sharp contrast and tidy finishing lend a formal, editorial voice suited to serious content and established brands.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that delivers a familiar reading experience while adding a refined, print-like sharpness for editorial and literary settings.
Round letters show smooth, controlled curves, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) are crisp and well-tensioned, reinforcing a polished texture. The font’s punctuation and figures match the letterforms’ refinement, supporting consistent color in paragraphs and confident emphasis in headings.
