A crisp text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show a relatively vertical axis, clean joins, and tapered terminals that feel sharp without becoming spiky. Uppercase proportions are stately and moderately wide, while lowercase forms maintain compact, readable counters and steady rhythm; the two-storey a and g and the upright, open e reinforce a conventional reading texture. Numerals are similarly contrasty and structured, with a lining feel and clear differentiation between shapes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, long-form articles, and magazine layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. The strong contrast and crisp serifs also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, and formal print materials like programs or invitations when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, suggesting printed books, periodicals, and institutional communication. Its contrast and crisp finishing give it a slightly formal, authoritative voice, while the familiar construction keeps it approachable for long-form reading.
The font appears designed as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances readability with a refined, traditional finish. Its proportions and consistent detailing suggest an aim toward reliable body copy performance while still providing enough elegance for display accents.
The design relies on consistent serif treatment and a disciplined baseline to create an even typographic color, while subtly varied stroke tapering adds elegance in display sizes. Curves (C, O, Q) appear smoothly drawn and well-controlled, helping maintain clarity despite the strong contrast.
