A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that feel finely cut rather than blunt. Curves are smooth and controlled, with relatively narrow joins and clearly modeled stroke modulation across bowls and stems. Uppercase forms are stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase shows compact, readable counters and a two-storey “g” with a pronounced ear. Figures appear lining with strong vertical stress; several numerals include curved, calligraphic-style finishing strokes that add movement without becoming decorative.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a refined, authoritative presence.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, conveying tradition, authority, and a slightly literary sophistication. Its sharp contrast and composed rhythm give it a premium, print-minded voice that feels at home in serious or cultural contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-oriented serif voice with strong stroke contrast and careful shaping for both display impact and sustained reading. Its details suggest an emphasis on elegance and typographic tradition while keeping forms clean and contemporary in execution.
In text, the font maintains an even typographic color despite the strong contrast, with clean punctuation and a decisive baseline. The mix of sharp entry/exit strokes and gently bracketed serifs creates a refined texture that remains clear at larger reading sizes and impactful at display sizes.
