This serif shows pronounced contrast between thick and thin strokes, with crisp, bracketed wedge serifs and tapered terminals. The capitals feel stately and moderately wide, with sharp apexes (notably in A and V) and a clean, disciplined rhythm. Lowercase forms are compact and controlled, with a two-storey a and g, a relatively small eye in e, and sturdy verticals that carry the weight clearly. Numerals align with the same high-contrast logic, mixing straight stems and rounded bowls with pointed, serifed finishes for a cohesive text-and-display color.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, especially where a classic, high-contrast serif texture is expected. The crisp detailing also works well for pull quotes, section heads, and refined brand applications that benefit from a traditional, print-forward voice.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking book typography and institutional publishing. Its sharp serifs and high contrast lend a polished, slightly dramatic voice that reads as serious, cultured, and well-established.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif with enough sharpness and elegance to scale into display use. It prioritizes a familiar literary structure while adding crisp, sculpted finishing details to keep the texture lively and distinguished.
Curves transition into stems with a subtly calligraphic feel, while the strong hairlines create bright internal counters and a lively texture at larger sizes. The punctuation and forms in the sample text suggest it is comfortable in mixed-case settings where a refined, classic serif presence is desired.
