A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered main strokes and thin hairlines that stay delicate but controlled. Serifs are bracketed and moderately sharp, giving the forms a traditional, slightly calligraphic finish without looking ornamental. Proportions are balanced with a steady baseline rhythm; rounds (C, O, Q) are generous and smooth, while verticals (H, I, N) feel sturdy. Lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, a compact, traditional e, and a pointed, energetic w; spacing reads even and text-color is confidently dark at display sizes.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and magazines, as well as editorial layouts that need a traditional, trustworthy voice. It also performs effectively in headlines and subheads where its contrast and bracketed serifs can add polish and hierarchy.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with a distinctly editorial feel. It communicates tradition and authority—suited to contexts where clarity and seriousness matter—while the lively stroke contrast adds a touch of elegance.
The design appears intended as a conventional, book-oriented serif that balances readability with a refined, high-contrast look. Its controlled details and steady proportions suggest a focus on producing a familiar, authoritative page texture for editorial and literary settings.
Numerals follow the same sharp contrast and serifed structure, with the 2 and 3 showing pronounced terminals and the 7 featuring a strong angled top. In the sample text, the font maintains clear word shapes and crisp punctuation, though the finest hairlines suggest it benefits from adequate size or print quality for best definition.
