A high-contrast serif with bracketed wedge-like serifs and a crisp, polished stroke finish. Vertical stems are relatively sturdy while hairlines taper sharply, producing a lively thick–thin rhythm and bright interior counters. The proportions read slightly expansive, with generous widths in capitals and round forms, and a steady, upright stance. Details such as the teardrop-like terminals and subtly flared joins give the letters a refined, traditional texture suited to continuous reading.
Well-suited to long-form editorial settings such as books, magazines, essays, and reports where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve in refined branding, invitations, and institutional materials, especially in headings and subheads where its contrast and tapered details can read confidently at larger sizes.
The overall tone is classic and literary, conveying formality and authority without feeling overly ornamental. Its sharp contrast and tapered terminals add a touch of drama and sophistication, evoking traditional book typography and editorial craft.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable text serif with elevated contrast and carefully finished terminals—aiming to balance traditional warmth with crisp, contemporary clarity for editorial typography.
Round letters show smooth, even curvature and controlled contrast, and diagonals (as in V, W, and X) keep a clean, disciplined geometry. Numerals appear similarly contrasty and old-style in spirit, with distinct shapes and clear differentiation that aligns with the texty serif character.
