A high-contrast serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and a crisp, engraved feel. Stems are relatively sturdy while hairlines and connecting strokes taper sharply, creating a lively light–dark rhythm. Serifs are pointed and slightly flared rather than slabby, and curves are smooth with a controlled, traditional stress. Capitals read stately and open, while the lowercase shows compact, text-oriented proportions with clear counters and a tidy, consistent baseline.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and essays, as well as magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts where contrast and crisp serifs help establish hierarchy. It also performs nicely for literary titling, formal announcements, and other applications that benefit from a classic, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and established editorial design. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast add a sense of formality and authority, with a slightly old-style, scholarly warmth rather than a cold modernism.
Designed to deliver a conventional, bookish serif voice with pronounced contrast and sharp terminals, balancing elegance with practical readability. The intent appears focused on traditional text composition and editorial typography where a refined, classic texture is desired.
Uppercase forms look balanced and restrained, with clear differentiation in letters like I/J and a confident, classical presence. Numerals align with the same contrast and serif treatment, giving figures a formal, print-like character suitable for mixed text and data.
