This serif typeface features sharply tapered, high-contrast strokes with crisp, bracketed serifs and a mostly vertical axis. Capitals are broad and stately with carefully moderated curves and hairline terminals, giving a sculpted, engraved feel. The lowercase shows a traditional text rhythm with clear ascenders/descenders, compact joins, and delicate finishing strokes; the italic is not shown. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with thin horizontals and confident, open counters.
Well-suited to editorial design, book typography, and long-form reading where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs effectively in display settings—chapter titles, pull quotes, and formal branding—where its contrast and wide capitals can add sophistication.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting established institutions, print culture, and considered craft. Its bright hairlines and poised proportions read as formal and upscale, with a calm authority rather than a playful voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif with an editorial sensibility, balancing classic proportions with crisp detailing. It aims to deliver a refined reading texture and an authoritative, premium voice across text and display sizes.
At larger sizes the thin strokes and fine serifs appear especially clean and precise, while the wide capitals create a dignified, spaced presence. The design emphasizes verticality and crisp terminals, producing a slightly dramatic page color when set in longer text.
