A conventional serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The overall texture is compact and slightly condensed, with tall capitals, moderate ascenders, and a steady, upright stance. Curves are smooth and controlled while terminals often taper to fine points, giving forms like C, S, and a noticeably sharp, polished finish. Lowercase proportions read as traditional, with a two-storey a and g, narrow apertures, and a rhythmic, print-like color across text.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, especially at comfortable reading sizes. It also performs effectively for magazine layouts, pull quotes, and refined headlines, and can support formal branding where traditional credibility and polish are important.
The font projects a classic, editorial tone—measured, formal, and quietly authoritative. Its sharp contrast and fine finishing details add a refined, literary flavor that feels at home in traditional publishing and heritage-leaning branding.
The design appears intended as a traditional text serif that emphasizes elegance through strong contrast, tapered detailing, and a compact set. It aims to deliver familiar, readable letterforms while adding a sharper, more refined finish for contemporary editorial and display use.
Figures align with the same high-contrast logic as the letters, with elegant curves in 2 and 3 and more structured, vertical forms in 1 and 4. The italic is not shown; the presented style maintains a consistent roman rhythm with clear word shapes and a slightly tight fit that reinforces its compact, composed character.
