A high-contrast serif with crisp wedge-like terminals and sharply cut serifs that give strokes a decisive, engraved feel. Vertical stems read firm and straight, with thin hairlines that stay clean in text. The letterforms show moderate proportions and a conventional, bookish structure, with compact curves and controlled spacing that supports a consistent line texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, newspapers, and book interiors, especially for headings, subheads, and pull quotes where contrast and crisp serifs add presence. It also fits formal communications, academic materials, and brand systems that want a traditional, established tone. In longer passages it should work best at comfortable sizes with adequate leading to keep thin strokes from feeling tight.
This typeface conveys a classic, editorial tone with a composed, authoritative presence. Its sharp, well-defined detailing adds a sense of formality and tradition, while the open, steady rhythm keeps it readable and matter-of-fact rather than ornate.
The design appears intended for conventional reading environments where a familiar serif voice and clear hierarchy are needed. Its contrast and sharp finishing suggest a goal of refined emphasis in headlines while preserving disciplined, steady texture in paragraphs.
Uppercase forms feel stately and balanced, while the lowercase maintains a sturdy, readable skeleton with a distinctly serifed, print-oriented character. Numerals appear traditional in construction, matching the typeface’s sharp detailing and overall disciplined texture.
