A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a steady, upright stance. Strokes transition from thick verticals to fine hairlines with clear modulation, giving counters a clean, open feel without appearing delicate. Proportions are balanced and conventional, with moderate ascenders/descenders and a normal x-height that keeps lowercase textures even. Capitals read broad and stately, while the lowercase maintains a smooth rhythm; numerals align with the texty, old-style feel through varied widths and clear stroke contrast.
Well-suited to book and magazine typography, essays, reports, and other long-form reading where a traditional serif texture is desirable. It can also serve in formal branding, invitations, and institutional materials, and scales effectively to headings where the high-contrast details become a feature.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting authority and polish rather than trendiness. Its sharp hairlines and controlled contrast add a refined, editorial voice suited to formal communication.
Likely intended as a conventional, dependable text serif with a refined high-contrast finish—aiming for familiar readability while providing enough sharpness and elegance for editorial and formal settings.
In the sample text, spacing and letterfit support continuous reading, and the contrast remains visible at display sizes without making the page color feel overly brittle. The serif treatment stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a traditional, composed texture.
