A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, crisp wedge-like terminals, and bracketed serifs that feel sharp yet controlled. The letterforms are upright and sturdy, with relatively generous widths and open counters that keep the texture readable at text sizes. Rounded forms (C, O) show smooth, even curves, while joins and diagonals stay clean and deliberate; the lowercase has a compact, traditional structure with a clear two-storey a and g and a firm, slightly calligraphic stress.
Well-suited to books, longform editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice and clear text color are desired. It also works effectively for headlines and section openers when a formal, traditional tone is appropriate.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, evoking traditional book typography and editorial polish. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast add a sense of formality and refinement, making it feel composed and serious rather than casual or playful.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-forward serif that balances readability with a refined, high-contrast finish. It aims to deliver a familiar literary voice with enough sharpness and structure to hold up in editorial hierarchy.
Capitals present a stately presence suitable for titling, while the lowercase maintains a consistent rhythm for longer passages. Numerals are sturdy and legible, with clear differentiation and a traditional, serifed construction that matches the text style.
