A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered terminals and compact, bracketed serifs that read cleanly at text sizes while retaining a crisp, print-like finish. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with stress that feels slightly diagonal, giving round letters a subtly calligraphic rhythm. Uppercase proportions are balanced and stately, while lowercase forms are compact with clear counters and distinct joins; the italic is not shown and the roman stays consistently upright. Numerals are lining-style in feel, with the 2 and 3 showing pronounced ball/teardrop terminals that match the overall detailing.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also support academic or institutional communications, and works for sophisticated branding when set with generous leading and careful spacing to let the contrast and sharp terminals breathe.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a formal, editorial voice. Its sharp contrast and controlled serifs convey refinement and authority, evoking traditional publishing and established institutions rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances readability with a polished, print-forward elegance. It aims to deliver a familiar literary texture while adding crispness through tapered strokes and carefully shaped terminals.
Details like the pointed apexes, tapered arms, and occasional ball terminals add sparkle without becoming decorative. The rhythm in text is even and composed, with clear letter separation and a consistent baseline presence.
