A high-contrast serif with sturdy vertical stems and sharply tapered hairlines, showing clear thick–thin modulation throughout. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, with a sculpted, calligraphic feel in the joins and terminals. Proportions lean traditional with moderate apertures, rounded bowls, and a gently variable rhythm across letters; the lowercase shows compact counters and a two-story a with a pronounced ear. Numerals follow the same contrast and bracketing, with a lining appearance and distinctive curved terminals on several forms.
Well-suited to editorial typography and book work where a classic serif voice is desired, especially for headlines, chapter openings, and pull quotes. Its strong contrast and weight also make it effective for branding, packaging, and logo-like wordmarks that benefit from a traditional, premium tone.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, pairing formality with a subtly expressive, inked warmth. Its crisp contrast and confident capitals suggest tradition and authority, while the softened bracketing keeps it approachable rather than austere.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with heightened contrast and refined detailing, aiming to deliver a traditional reading voice while adding extra punch for display sizes. The careful bracketing and sculpted terminals suggest an emphasis on elegance and recognizable character in continuous text and titling alike.
The face maintains strong color on the page, with especially emphatic capitals and dense lowercase forms that read as decidedly typographic. Curved letters (C, G, S) show controlled, elegant modulation, and several terminals end in teardrop-like or ball-ish shaping that adds personality without becoming decorative.
