This serif features bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a clear high-contrast stroke model, with sturdy vertical stems and finer hairlines. Letterforms feel traditionally proportioned with a slightly compact, upright stance and a steady baseline rhythm. Curves show a vertical stress and crisp transitions, while terminals and serifs end in sharp, triangular points that add definition. Lowercase forms are structured and conventional, with a narrow, upright italic-free texture and a consistent, print-oriented finish across letters and figures.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and print-first reading environments where a classic serif voice is desired. The contrast and sharp detailing also make it effective for display use—headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding—especially at medium to large sizes where the hairlines and serif shapes can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a formal, editorial character that reads as authoritative and composed. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast give it a refined, traditional voice suited to established institutions and print culture.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances readability with a formal, traditional presence. Its crisp serifs and controlled proportions suggest a goal of producing an authoritative, timeless typographic color for editorial and literary settings.
In text, the strong stem presence creates a dark, confident color, while the fine hairlines provide sparkle at larger sizes. Some apertures appear relatively tight, which enhances a compact, dignified texture rather than an airy, modern one.
