A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and largely vertical stress. Serifs are bracketed yet sharply finished, giving terminals a pointed, chiseled feel. Proportions are conventional with a moderate x-height, relatively tall ascenders, and compact bowls; overall spacing reads steady and text-oriented. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly narrow, while lowercase shapes show traditional book-face details such as a two-storey “a” and “g,” a compact “e,” and a right-leaning tail on “Q.” Numerals align with the same high-contrast rhythm, with clear, open counters and strong baseline presence.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs convincingly for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and formal communications that benefit from a refined, traditional voice.
The font conveys a traditional, bookish tone with a polished editorial character. Its sharp serifs and high contrast add a sense of authority and elegance, leaning formal without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and crisp detailing—aiming to deliver a familiar, literary reading experience while offering enough sharpness and elegance for editorial titling.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and pointed serif finishing create a lively sparkle at display sizes, while the overall construction remains conservative and readable for longer lines. The rhythm is driven by vertical stems and tight interior shapes, producing a composed, print-like texture.
