A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines, sturdy verticals, and bracketed wedge-like serifs that give the strokes a chiseled, print-classic finish. The drawing favors vertical stress and a steady, upright rhythm, with generous counters and clear interior space that helps larger text feel open rather than dense. Capitals are stately and moderately wide, while lowercase shows a traditional text-seriffed structure with compact joins and slightly tapered terminals. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures, with varied heights and extenders that blend naturally into running text.
Well-suited to book typography, literary and academic layouts, and editorial design where a conventional serif voice is desired. It can handle headlines and pull quotes effectively thanks to its contrast and sharp detailing, while remaining comfortable for extended reading in body text.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking book typography and established editorial voice. Its contrast and refined serifs create a sense of seriousness and authority, while the open counters keep it approachable for long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a refined, print-oriented finish—balancing classic proportions and high contrast to deliver a formal, readable tone across paragraphs and display settings.
The sample text shows strong hierarchy potential: capitals and round letters (C, O, Q) read smoothly at display sizes, and the italic-like liveliness comes from subtle stroke tapering rather than any slant. Descenders are prominent and punctuation feels sturdy, supporting dense paragraph settings.
