A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered strokes and bracketed wedge-like serifs. Vertical stems are firm and straight, while joins and terminals show subtle calligraphic modulation, producing a lively rhythm in text. Proportions feel traditional and slightly compact, with sturdy capitals and round forms that stay controlled rather than geometric. Details like the curved leg on R, the long-tailed Q, and the sharply cut diagonals (V/W/X) add a sculpted, print-oriented character.
Well-suited for long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a crisp, traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly in display sizes for headings, pull quotes, and brand typography that needs a classic, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting seriousness and authority without feeling overly ornate. Its sharp finishing and strong contrast evoke traditional book typography and editorial polish, with a restrained elegance suited to formal communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, bookish serif with pronounced contrast and refined, sharp detailing—aimed at clear text rhythm and a timeless editorial presence rather than novelty.
Spacing appears even and stable in the paragraph sample, with clear word shapes and consistent stroke logic across upper- and lowercase. Numerals match the text color and contrast, reading as traditional lining figures with sharp, serifed construction.
