A conventional serif with pronounced stroke contrast and sharp, wedge-like serifs that often read as lightly bracketed. Curves are smooth and full, with compact counters and a steady, vertical axis that keeps the texture even in paragraphs. Terminals tend to finish in tapered points rather than blunt cuts, giving capitals a crisp, engraved feel, while the lowercase maintains familiar book-seriff proportions and rhythm. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with elegant curves and clear baseline alignment, staying consistent with the text tone.
Well-suited for book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and print-focused communication where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly in display roles—headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding—where its contrast and sharp serifs can provide authority and elegance.
The overall tone is classic and formal, evoking book typography and traditional editorial design. Its sharp serifs and high contrast add a refined, slightly ceremonial character that feels established and trustworthy rather than casual or playful.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif with an elevated, high-contrast finish—balancing familiar readability with a crisp, formal edge appropriate for literature and editorial settings.
In text, the strong thick–thin modulation creates a lively shimmer, especially at larger sizes, while the pointed serif treatment adds definition at word edges and line endings. Round letters (like O/Q) appear robust and polished, and the caps present a stately, inscriptional presence without becoming decorative.
