A crisp, high-contrast serif with bracketed wedges and finely tapered hairlines. The design shows vertical stress and a disciplined, upright stance, with generous counters and a steady baseline rhythm. Capitals are broad and stately with sharp, clean serifs, while lowercase forms keep a traditional book face structure; round letters are smooth and open, and joins transition with subtle modulation. Numerals and punctuation follow the same polished contrast pattern, producing a clear, print-oriented texture at text sizes and a dignified presence when scaled up.
Well suited for long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly for formal headings, pull quotes, and institutional materials that call for a traditional, authoritative typographic voice.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, conveying editorial authority and a sense of established quality. Its sharp finishing and controlled contrast read as formal and considered, suited to content that benefits from a classic, trustworthy voice.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver a conventional, bookish serif experience with pronounced contrast and crisp detailing, balancing readability with a refined, formal character for editorial and institutional typography.
Stroke contrast is pronounced, so thin parts become especially delicate at small sizes or on low-resolution screens. The spacing and proportions feel conventional and even, supporting continuous reading while still giving headings a distinctly refined edge.
