A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered strokes and subtly flared, bracketed endings that give stems a gently sculpted feel. The letterforms are upright with a steady, bookish rhythm; verticals feel strong while joins and curves thin quickly, creating a lively thick–thin cadence. Serifs are sharp and neatly integrated rather than slabby, and many terminals finish with pointed, wedge-like flicks. Proportions are balanced and legible, with moderate apertures and slightly energetic curves in round letters and diagonals.
It works well for editorial layouts, book and long-form typography at comfortable sizes, and for headline or title settings where contrast and sharp finishing details can be appreciated. It also suits brand marks and formal print applications that benefit from a classic, premium serif character.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with an editorial voice that suggests literature, heritage brands, and formal communication. Its sharp detailing and contrast add a touch of sophistication and drama without tipping into ornate display styling.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classic serif voice: traditional proportions and readable construction paired with pronounced contrast and flared, sharpened stroke endings for a more vivid, print-forward presence.
Capitals read stately and structured, while the lowercase maintains clarity with a modest, text-friendly color despite the contrast. Numerals match the serifed, tapering construction and feel suited to running text as well as headings.
