This serif presents a traditional book-face structure with crisp bracketed serifs and a pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves show a largely vertical stress, with rounded letters like O and Q kept clean and balanced; the Q uses a modest tail that stays integrated with the bowl. Terminals and serifs read as sharp and slightly wedge-like, giving a precise, engraved feel without becoming decorative. Lowercase proportions are steady, with open counters and clear joins; the lowercase g appears two-storey, and the overall rhythm is even and text-oriented while maintaining a bright, high-contrast sparkle on the page.
It fits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its clear rhythm and open counters support comfortable text setting. The pronounced contrast and sharp finishing details also make it effective for chapter titles, pull quotes, and formal headings in magazines, reports, and other typographic-forward documents.
The tone is classic and literary, suggesting formality and editorial polish. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast convey refinement and authority, while the restrained shapes keep it suited to conventional reading rather than display theatrics.
The design appears intended as a modern, conventional text serif that emphasizes clarity and traditional typographic authority. Its disciplined proportions and crisp detailing suggest a focus on dependable page color with a refined, high-contrast finish for editorial environments.
Figures are lining and serifed, matching the uppercase in presence and contrast, which helps maintain consistency in mixed text and numerals. The letterforms keep a controlled, conventional silhouette, with enough crispness in the details to remain articulate in larger sizes.
