A crisp, high-contrast serif with bracketed serifs and a vertically oriented stress. Strokes transition from firm, dark stems to thin hairlines, giving letters a polished, engraved-like sharpness without becoming overly delicate. Capitals are stately and proportionally even, while lowercase forms show traditional book-face construction with a moderate x-height, open counters, and tapered terminals. Overall rhythm is steady and texty, with clear, conventional shapes and a clean, print-forward finish.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, and it also performs confidently in headlines, pull quotes, and formal front matter. The classic construction makes it appropriate for academic, legal, and institutional materials where a traditional serif voice is desired.
The tone is classic and formal, evoking traditional publishing and institutional typography. Its contrast and tidy detailing convey refinement and authority, leaning more literary than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif that balances a dignified, old-style publishing feel with sharper, higher-contrast detailing for clarity and presence in both text and display sizes.
The numerals appear sturdy and well-anchored, matching the uppercase color and contrast, and the punctuation in the sample text reads cleanly at display sizes. The overall color on the page is fairly dark and confident, with hairlines that add sparkle in larger settings.
