A crisp, high-contrast serif with a pronounced vertical stress and finely tapered hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with clean, chiseled terminals that give the outlines a sculpted feel. Proportions lean toward a traditional book face: moderate x-height, clear ascenders/descenders, and smooth, controlled curves in round letters. Capitals read stately and balanced, while lowercase forms keep an even rhythm and open counters; overall spacing feels measured and text-ready.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly in display sizes for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from high contrast and crisp detailing.
The tone is classical and editorial, projecting refinement and authority without feeling ornate. Its sharp finishing and strong contrast add a sense of sophistication suited to cultured, literary contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-oriented serif with a polished, print-classic character. Its high contrast and careful serif shaping aim to deliver a refined reading texture while retaining enough sharpness to hold its own in larger, editorial display settings.
The italics are not shown; the sample demonstrates strong headline presence while maintaining composure in longer lines. Numerals appear proportional with consistent contrast and traditional shapes that align with the letterforms.
