This is a high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a distinctly vertical stress. Stems are firm and straight while hairlines stay very fine, giving strong thick–thin modulation and a bright texture in text. Proportions are relatively narrow with compact sidebearings, and the overall construction feels disciplined and classical rather than soft or organic. Terminals are sharp and clean, counters are moderately open, and the rhythm stays even across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
It suits editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book work where a classic serif voice and a lively contrast are desirable. It can also perform well for formal stationery, invitations, and brand wordmarks that need a polished, traditional tone, especially at display sizes or in well-spaced text settings.
The tone is refined and traditional, with an editorial sophistication that feels at home in literary or institutional settings. Its sharp contrast and tidy detailing convey formality and polish, producing a confident, composed voice rather than a casual one.
The design appears intended as a conventional, classically influenced text serif with a refined contrast and careful serif finishing. Its narrowish proportions and clean, consistent forms suggest it was drawn to deliver an elegant reading texture and strong typographic authority in editorial contexts.
In the sample text, the type creates a clear, sparkling page color typical of contrasty serifs, with punctuation and numerals matching the same crispness. The lowercase shows a conventional, readable structure, while capitals carry a stately presence without becoming ornamental.
