This serif features pronounced thick–thin modulation with a strong vertical axis and crisp, bracketed serifs. Capitals are compact and relatively tall, with sharp, controlled joins and tapered strokes that keep counters clear despite the narrow set. Lowercase forms are traditional and text-oriented, with a two-storey “a,” a compact “e,” and a sturdy “g,” giving an even, readable rhythm. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with clear, old-style-influenced shapes and decisive terminals that hold up in setting.
It works well for book interiors, long-form editorial, and magazine typography where a traditional serif voice is desired. The compact width and strong contrast also make it effective for headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes when you want a crisp, classic look without ornamental styling.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting a polished, authoritative voice associated with books and traditional print typography. Its sharp contrast and tidy proportions add a refined, slightly formal character that feels suited to serious or literary content.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a refined, print-leaning texture: high-contrast strokes, compact proportions, and disciplined detailing aimed at clarity and a classic reading experience.
In the sample text, the font maintains a steady line texture and a disciplined color, with punctuation and capitals reading cleanly in dense paragraphs. The ampersand and curved letters show controlled flare and tapering rather than heavy calligraphic embellishment, keeping the style conventional and restrained.
