This serif shows pronounced stroke contrast with crisp, bracketed serifs and a clean, upright stance. Capitals are sturdy and slightly expansive, with sharply modeled curves and tapered joins that give the forms a carved, editorial feel. Lowercase maintains a traditional, readable rhythm with moderate x-height, open apertures, and clear differentiation between rounds and stems. Overall spacing feels even and text-ready, with numerals and punctuation matching the same high-contrast, old-style modeling.
It suits long-form reading such as books and essays, where its familiar serif structure and clear contrast support sustained legibility. The stronger modeling also makes it effective for magazine typography, pull quotes, and headings where a traditional, authoritative voice is desired.
The tone is classic and confident, leaning toward literary and editorial tradition. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast add a sense of refinement and authority without becoming delicate or ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a more emphatic contrast and crisp finishing, aiming for a polished, publishing-oriented texture. It balances traditional letterforms with enough sharpness and presence to work well in editorial hierarchy.
Diagonal and curved letters show carefully controlled thick–thin transitions, and the heavier stress at curves gives the text a steady, formal texture. The figures appear proportionally consistent with the letters, supporting mixed editorial composition and straightforward hierarchy in headlines and subheads.
