A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed wedge-like terminals and a firm vertical stress. The letterforms show sharp apexes and pointed joins, with sculpted curves and tapered strokes that create a clean, rhythmic texture in text. Proportions feel traditional and moderately condensed in the capitals, while the lowercase maintains steady spacing and clear counters; the numerals match the same engraved, tapered logic with open shapes and distinct silhouettes.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and long-form reading, and literary or academic contexts where a traditional serif tone is desired. It also performs strongly in display settings—such as headlines, pull quotes, and classic branding—where the sharp serifs and contrast can provide a polished, authoritative signature.
The overall tone is classic and institutional, leaning toward a bookish, authoritative presence. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast lend a refined, editorial voice that reads as formal and composed rather than casual or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with added crispness and contrast for a more refined, print-like finish. Its consistent construction across the character set suggests a focus on dependable readability paired with a formal, classic voice.
In the grid, the shapes stay consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with pronounced pointed terminals and decisive diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y). In the text sample, the contrast and serifs become more prominent at larger sizes, giving a slightly dramatic, engraved feel while still retaining conventional text-serif familiarity.
