A high-contrast serif with strong verticals, fine hairlines, and crisp, bracketed serifs. Capitals are wide and steady with prominent wedge-like terminals, while the lowercase shows a compact, sturdy rhythm with relatively small apertures and a pronounced vertical stress. Curves are clean and controlled, with tight joins and firm top/bottom horizontals that keep lines of text looking even and composed. Numerals follow the same model, balancing bold stems against delicate connecting strokes for a cohesive text-and-display feel.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and academic material, where its traditional proportions and strong vertical rhythm support sustained text. It also performs convincingly in editorial headlines and subheads, where the crisp serifs and contrast add hierarchy and authority without feeling decorative.
The overall tone is traditional and assured, leaning toward bookish refinement rather than overt ornament. Its sharp finishing details and confident contrast give it an editorial voice—polished, serious, and slightly dramatic—while still remaining familiar and readable.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for professional typography—aiming for dependable readability with a refined, print-oriented character. Its controlled shapes and emphatic terminals suggest a focus on timeless editorial use across both text and display sizes.
The italic is not shown, and the roman displayed emphasizes a classic text-serif construction with assertive serifs and a structured, vertical cadence. In larger settings the pointed terminals and contrast become more expressive, while in paragraph samples it maintains a disciplined, typographic color.
