A high-contrast serif with sharply defined hairlines and strong vertical stems, showing a controlled, text-oriented rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and neatly tapered, with crisp terminals and a generally upright stance. Proportions feel slightly narrow in places with noticeable glyph-to-glyph width variation, while spacing remains even and readable. The lowercase shows a prominent x-height and compact ascenders/descenders, supporting dense setting without losing clarity.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a crisp serif texture is desired. It also performs convincingly for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural branding that benefits from a classic, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a composed, editorial seriousness. Its contrast and clean finishing lend it a refined, slightly ceremonial presence that reads as established and trustworthy rather than trendy.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-first serif that balances elegance with practicality. Its tall lowercase and disciplined contrast aim to deliver a refined page color and clear hierarchy across body copy and display sizes.
Round letters (like O/C/e) show a vertical stress and smooth curves; joins and transitions are kept tight and tidy, reinforcing a disciplined texture. The numerals follow the same contrast and serif detailing, fitting comfortably with text and headings.
