This serif has sharply cut, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation, giving it a crisp, engraved feel. Capitals are sturdy and relatively wide with clear vertical stress, while lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height and open counters for steady text rhythm. Terminals tend to finish with small ball/teardrop details on letters like a, c, f, j, and y, adding a slightly calligraphic finish without becoming ornamental. Numerals and capitals carry strong, confident strokes and clean curves, producing a dense, authoritative color in paragraphs.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. The strong contrast and crisp serifs also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and display settings that call for a traditional, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a formal, institution-friendly presence. The high-contrast modulation and pointed detailing push it toward a dignified, editorial voice rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
The letterforms suggest an intention to provide a conventional, highly legible serif with a refined, print-oriented finish. Its combination of clear proportions, high contrast, and subtly expressive terminals appears aimed at delivering a classic reading experience with a touch of formality.
The design shows a consistent serif treatment across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, with carefully shaped curves (notably in S, C, and G) and a firm baseline stance. Spacing appears comfortable in the text sample, supporting continuous reading while maintaining a strong typographic personality.
