A high-contrast serif with crisp, sculpted letterforms and pronounced stroke modulation. Stems and terminals subtly flare as they meet the serifs, creating a carved, calligraphic feel rather than blunt slab endings. Serifs are bracketed and tapered, with sharp apexes and a controlled, vertical stress that reads confidently in capitals. Lowercase shows compact, sturdy bowls with clear joins and angled terminals on forms like a, e, and s, while the numerals are traditional and well-proportioned with strong thick–thin rhythm.
Works well for editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where a classic serif voice and strong contrast can add sophistication. The sturdy caps and clear numerals support display uses such as headlines, pull quotes, packaging, and brand marks, especially in premium or heritage-leaning applications.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an elegant, bookish polish. Its contrast and flared finishing details give it a dignified, slightly ceremonial presence suited to refined editorial and cultural contexts.
Likely intended to deliver a classic serif reading experience with elevated, flared detailing that adds distinction in display sizes while maintaining a composed texture in text. The design emphasizes crisp contrast, traditional proportions, and a confident typographic voice.
Spacing appears balanced with a steady text rhythm in the sample paragraph, and the uppercase set feels especially commanding for titling. The ampersand is bold and decorative without becoming overly ornate, aligning with the font’s formal character.
