A high-contrast serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a lively, calligraphic modulation. The capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with sharp joins and tapered terminals that keep counters open despite the strong thick–thin rhythm. Lowercase forms show a traditional text-seriffed structure with compact bowls, a two-storey “g,” and a gently angled stress, producing an even, readable texture in paragraph settings. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, with clear shapes and pronounced entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited to book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly in headlines and pull quotes thanks to its crisp contrast and dignified capital forms, especially when paired with generous leading.
The overall tone is classic and formal, conveying a literary, editorial feel associated with traditional book typography. Its crisp contrast and pointed details add a slightly authoritative, institutional voice that reads as polished rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, text-forward serif with a refined, traditional voice and enough contrast to provide elegance in both reading sizes and larger editorial display applications.
Spacing and rhythm feel measured and text-oriented, with consistent vertical emphasis and clean alignment across the alphabet. The design’s sharper terminals and pronounced hairlines give it a more incisive, engraved-like finish, especially at display sizes.
