A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered strokes and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that give the outlines a carved, sculptural feel. The capitals are broad and steady with pronounced thick–thin transitions, while the lowercase shows a compact rhythm with clearly defined bowls and a slightly calligraphic stress. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals often finishing in pointed or triangular ends, and the overall texture reads clean rather than soft. Figures follow the same contrast and serif logic, with old-style influenced shapes and distinctive modulation that keeps numerals lively in text.
Performs well for long-form reading and editorial typography where a traditional serif texture is desired, and it scales confidently for headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes thanks to its strong contrast and crisp serifs. It also suits heritage-leaning branding and packaging that benefit from a refined, classical voice.
The tone is classical and editorial, leaning toward bookish authority rather than casual friendliness. Its crisp contrast and sharp finishing details convey refinement, tradition, and a confident, institutional voice.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and sharpened detailing to add sophistication while maintaining a familiar roman structure and readable rhythm. The goal appears to be an editorial workhorse that can move comfortably between text and display without losing its classic character.
Spacing and proportions create an even, text-ready color despite the dramatic modulation, and the capital set feels especially suited to titling due to its width and strong silhouette. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman/upright.
