A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply finished, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a relatively vertical stress with clear, tapered joins and clean terminals, producing a bright, open texture in continuous text. Proportions feel traditional and slightly condensed in some capitals, while bowls and counters remain generous for readability. Numerals are lining and serifed, matching the same high-contrast, book-oriented construction.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and journals, as well as magazine layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs nicely for headlines, deck lines, and pull quotes, where the contrast and crisp serifs provide a confident, upscale finish.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with an academic and editorial presence. Its high-contrast drawing and sharp details give it a refined, authoritative voice suited to polished, formal settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances readability with a more polished, high-contrast elegance. Its disciplined proportions and crisp detailing suggest a focus on literary and editorial typography rather than branding novelty.
The italic is not shown; the samples indicate a consistent upright rhythm with lively contrast that becomes especially prominent at display sizes. Pointed terminals (notably in letters like C, G, S, and the diagonals of W and X) add a slightly calligraphic sharpness without becoming ornamental.
