A high-contrast serif with a crisp, print-like texture and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are finely tapered and mostly bracketed, with sharp wedge-like entry strokes and delicate hairlines that finish in small terminals. Proportions feel traditional and slightly narrow in the capitals, while lowercase forms maintain a steady rhythm with a moderate x-height and clear, open counters. Details such as ball terminals (notably on forms like the lowercase “y”) and a distinctive, decorative “Q” tail add character without breaking the overall conventional text-serif structure.
Well suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, long-form articles, and magazine layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs effectively for headings, pull quotes, and formal printed materials like programs or invitations where high contrast can add sophistication.
The font projects a refined, editorial tone associated with books, newspapers, and classical publishing. Its sharp contrast and neat finishing strokes feel elegant and serious, giving text an authoritative, literary voice that reads as traditional rather than casual or quirky.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, publication-ready serif with strong contrast and crisp detailing, balancing readability with a distinctly elegant, traditional flavor. The characterful terminals and expressive “Q” suggest an aim to add recognizable personality while keeping a conventional text-serif foundation.
The figures follow the same high-contrast logic as the letters and read well at display sizes, with notable sculpting in curved forms like 3, 6, 8, and 9. Uppercase forms look composed and stable, while lowercase shapes show mild calligraphic influence in joins and terminals, contributing to a lively but controlled page color.
