A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a relatively broad stance and open counters, with a steady vertical rhythm and upright stress. Terminals tend toward sharp, slightly wedge-like finishes, and curves transition cleanly into stems, giving a polished, print-oriented texture. Numerals and capitals feel stately and evenly weighted, while the lowercase maintains a traditional, text-serif construction with clear joins and defined shoulders.
Well-suited to book and magazine typography, especially for body text at comfortable reading sizes where its classic construction and clear rhythm can shine. It also performs strongly in editorial headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding applications where high-contrast serifs convey prestige and seriousness.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting formality and trust. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast add a sense of refinement and tradition, suitable for contexts that benefit from a composed, authoritative voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances traditional proportions with crisp detailing for a refined page color. It aims to deliver an editorial, print-classic feel that scales from readable text to expressive display sizes without losing its formal character.
In paragraph setting the texture reads crisp and structured, with clear word shapes and a distinctly ‘book’ color. The combination of broad proportions and strong contrast creates a lively rhythm, especially visible in round letters and in the interplay of hairlines against heavier verticals.
