A crisp serif with strong thick–thin modulation and sharply defined, bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and relatively vertical in stress, with tapered joins and neatly cut terminals that keep letterforms clear at text sizes. Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow with disciplined proportions, while the lowercase shows sturdy stems, open bowls, and compact, well-contained counters that maintain an even typographic color across lines. Numerals match the text rhythm, with old-style-like curvature and distinct silhouettes that read cleanly in running copy.
Well-suited to book interiors, long-form reading, and editorial layouts where a familiar, refined serif voice is desired. It can also serve display roles for section heads and pull quotes, where its contrast and crisp serifs add emphasis without leaving the text-serif genre.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking book typography and editorial seriousness. Its high-contrast detailing and crisp finishing convey a sense of polish and authority without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that prioritizes clarity and a classic reading experience, while adding a slightly sharper, more polished edge for contemporary editorial use.
In the samples, spacing and rhythm appear balanced, producing a steady baseline and consistent word shapes. The font’s sharper serif tips and pronounced contrast give headings extra snap while still staying comfortable for longer paragraphs.
