A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered main strokes, bracketed wedge serifs, and crisp, pointed terminals. The capitals are stately and moderately wide, with pronounced thick–thin modulation and slightly cupped joins that give an engraved, calligraphic feel. Lowercase forms show traditional, text-friendly proportions with a compact rhythm, a two-storey “g,” and a slightly diagonal stress in rounded letters. Numerals are lining and similarly high-contrast, with elegant curves and fine hairlines that emphasize a refined, print-oriented texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book work, magazine features, and cultured headlines where contrast and refinement are desirable. It can also support branding and formal communication materials that benefit from a traditional, authoritative serif voice, particularly at display and subhead sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, suggesting bookish authority and a measured, formal voice. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast add a touch of drama and sophistication without becoming ornate, making it feel established and institutional.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances classical proportions with sharper, more contemporary crispness in its serifs and terminals. It aims to deliver an elegant reading texture and a strong typographic presence in editorial contexts.
The glyphs show consistent detailing across cases, with especially thin hairlines in letters like E/F/T and in the curves of S/C, and a distinctive, sweeping tail on Q. In larger sizes the hairline finesse reads as elegant and crisp, while at smaller sizes the contrast may demand careful size and output considerations to preserve the finest strokes.
