A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a clearly modulated stroke that gives stems a dark vertical presence and hairline-like joins and endings. Capitals are stately and fairly wide with sharp apexes (notably in A, V, W) and clean, confident curves in round letters like O and C. Lowercase forms are compact and text-oriented, with sturdy verticals, tapered entry strokes, and clear counters; the numerals follow the same contrast pattern with elegant curves and fine terminals. Overall rhythm is even and bookish, with traditional proportions and a slightly sculpted, engraved feel in the details.
It performs well for long-form reading such as books and editorial layouts, where its traditional serif construction and consistent rhythm support a familiar text color. The contrast and crisp finishing also make it effective for titles, pull quotes, and refined print materials like programs or invitations when set with comfortable spacing.
The tone is classic and literary, projecting authority and polish without feeling ornamental. Its contrast and sharp finishing lend a refined, editorial voice suited to formal messaging and established brands.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a more polished, high-contrast finish—balancing readability with a sense of tradition and formality. It aims to evoke established print typography while remaining versatile across body copy and display sizes.
The face maintains consistent modulation across letters, numbers, and punctuation, creating a cohesive texture in paragraphs. Pointed joins and tapered strokes add a subtle calligraphic energy, while the serifs stay restrained and conventional for dependable reading flow.
