A classic text serif with noticeable stroke contrast, crisp bracketed serifs, and occasional spurred or forked terminals that add bite to joins and stem endings. Uppercase forms are tall and compact, with sharp apexes on A and V/W and clean, controlled curves in C/G/O. The lowercase shows a traditional two-storey a, a compact two-storey g, and a slender italic-like entry/exit shaping in places, giving the rhythm a slightly calligraphic, engraved feel without becoming decorative. Numerals are lining and sturdy, with open counters and clear differentiation, suited to continuous reading settings.
Well-suited for long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve in institutional or cultural branding, particularly for headings and pull quotes that benefit from a refined, print-classic presence.
The tone is bookish and established, with a faintly old-style, print-driven character that reads as authoritative and cultured. Subtle spurs and tapered details add a hint of craft and historical reference, lending formality without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with a slightly distinctive edge, using spurred/forked terminals and controlled contrast to evoke classic typography while staying practical for modern composition.
In text, the spacing and proportions create a tight, efficient texture that stays legible while retaining personality in terminals and joins. The darker strokes and small, crisp serifs help maintain clarity at moderate sizes, while the sharper details become more evident as size increases.
