A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a steady, upright stance. Strokes show a clear thick–thin modulation with sharp terminals and tapered joins, giving letters a chiseled, precise finish. Proportions feel balanced and traditional, with moderate counters and a measured rhythm in text; curves and diagonals are clean and controlled rather than soft or rounded. The numerals and capitals read confidently at display sizes, while the lowercase maintains an even, bookish texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs effectively for headlines, section openers, and institutional or academic branding that benefits from a refined, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, conveying a sense of tradition and authority. Its sharp details and pronounced contrast add refinement and a slightly formal, editorial character rather than a casual or friendly feel.
The font appears designed as a conventional text serif with a polished, high-contrast finish, aiming for readability paired with a distinctly classical presence. Its controlled construction and crisp serifs suggest an intent to evoke established print traditions while remaining versatile across text and display roles.
The design’s crisp serifs and distinct stroke modulation create strong word shapes and clear hierarchy, especially in headlines. In longer settings the contrast and fine details suggest best results in comfortable sizes and good printing or screen conditions.
