A crisp, high‑contrast serif with bracketed serifs and a relatively vertical stress. Stems are sturdy and straight while hairlines and connecting strokes get notably finer, producing a clean, engraved-like rhythm in text. Capitals are proportioned in a traditional book style with a balanced width and clear, open counters; the lowercase shows a moderate x-height with tall ascenders and gently modulated curves. Terminals tend toward sharp, neatly finished wedges, and round punctuation dots add a steady, conventional texture.
Well suited to book and long-form reading, including editorial layouts, magazine articles, and academic or professional documents. It also works effectively for headings and pull quotes when a traditional, authoritative serif presence is desired.
The overall tone feels classic and composed, evoking editorial and institutional typography. Its contrast and tidy finishing give it a polished, slightly formal voice that reads as confident and established rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that prioritizes familiar proportions, clear word shapes, and a refined printed texture. Its controlled modulation and classic detailing suggest a focus on dependable readability with an elevated, literary finish.
Numerals follow the same contrasting, text-oriented construction, with a mix of straight-sided forms and smooth bowls that keep line color even. The sample paragraphs show good separation between letters and stable spacing, supporting sustained reading at typical text sizes.
