This serif shows crisp, bracketed serifs and a pronounced thick–thin modulation with mostly vertical stress. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with sharp apexes (A, V, W) and clean, straight-sided construction in letters like E, F, H, and N. The lowercase keeps a traditional, two-storey a and g, compact bowls, and relatively narrow apertures, producing a steady, text-oriented rhythm. Numerals align with the same high-contrast logic, featuring fine hairlines and sturdy verticals that read clearly at display and paragraph sizes.
It suits long-form reading such as book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also works well for formal collateral—programs, invitations, and institutional reports—where a refined, established typographic tone supports the content.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a composed, formal voice that suggests traditional publishing and editorial typography. Its high-contrast detailing adds refinement and a slightly dramatic polish without feeling ornamental or playful.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for serious text typography, balancing sharp detailing with stable proportions to produce an even reading rhythm and a polished, authoritative presence.
Curves terminate with neat, controlled joins, and serifs stay sharp rather than softened, giving the face a crisp print-like texture. The texture in continuous text appears even and disciplined, favoring clarity and convention over exuberant character.
