This serif has sharp, triangular wedge serifs with a clean, chiseled finish and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves are smooth and open, with slightly flared terminals and a consistent, controlled rhythm across the alphabet. Uppercase forms feel stately and measured, while the lowercase shows a traditional text-seriffed structure with rounded bowls, a single-story g, and sturdy verticals; numerals follow the same high-contrast, print-oriented logic.
It suits long-form reading such as book interiors and editorial layouts, where the traditional serif structure supports comfortable scanning and a familiar typographic color. The crisp wedge serifs and strong contrast also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that needs a formal, literary feel.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, projecting an editorial seriousness associated with books, institutions, and formal communication. Its crisp serifs and refined contrast add a touch of drama without becoming decorative, keeping the voice confident and composed.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated sharpness and contrast to add refinement and authority. Its consistent construction suggests a focus on dependable readability paired with a classic, print-centric presence.
Spacing in the sample text reads steady and breathable, and the letterforms maintain clarity at larger sizes where the sharp serifs and contrast become a defining texture. The design leans on classic serif conventions with subtly pointed detailing that gives headings extra bite.
