A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give stems a sculpted, chiseled feel. Serifs read as wedge-like and often bracketed, with sharp apexes on forms like A and V and clean, decisive finishing on E/F/T. Bowls are generously rounded with tight, controlled joins, and the lowercase shows a traditional, bookish construction with a two-storey a and g and compact, confident counters. Overall spacing and rhythm feel measured and even, producing a smooth text color while preserving strong vertical emphasis.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine settings where a refined serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and branding applications that benefit from crisp contrast and a cultured, traditional tone.
The tone is classic and editorial, balancing refinement with a slightly dramatic, display-ready sharpness. Its tapered details and crisp serifs suggest heritage publishing and formal branding, while the pronounced contrast adds a sense of sophistication and authority.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical serif: readable and steady in text, but with sharpened, flared finishing that adds distinction at display sizes. Its controlled proportions and consistent contrast suggest an aim toward premium editorial versatility and formal presentation.
Capital forms present a stately presence with sturdy verticals and elegant, thinning horizontals, and the numerals carry the same engraved, high-contrast logic. In larger sizes the pointed terminals and flare details become a defining character feature; in text, the consistent modulation helps maintain clarity and a composed texture.
