A conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast, bracketed serifs, and a sculpted, slightly calligraphic stroke flow. The uppercase shows sturdy verticals and sharp terminals, while curves are clean and tightly controlled, giving counters a crisp, engraved feel. Lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height with clear differentiation between round and straight strokes; joins and terminals often finish in tapered, slightly flared details. Numerals and capitals share a steady baseline rhythm, with a few distinctive interior shapes (notably in round letters) that add character without breaking text cohesion.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding where the crisp contrast and sculpted details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, projecting seriousness and confidence. Its high-contrast drawing and crisp finishing details evoke printed editorial typography and a slightly old-style, bookish sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, time-tested serif structure with added sharpness and character through high contrast and distinctive interior detailing. It balances tradition with a slightly ornamental edge to stand out in display while remaining credible for text.
Round letters feature distinctive interior treatment and sharp inner cut-ins that read as decorative accents at display sizes while remaining consistent across the set. The spacing and color appear even in continuous text, and the contrast creates a bright, refined texture that benefits from adequate size and leading.
