A traditional serif with crisp, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that read sharp rather than slab-like. Strokes show clear contrast between thick and thin, with smooth transitions that feel subtly calligraphic, especially in the diagonals and joins. The proportions are slightly expansive with generous capitals and open counters, while lowercase forms keep a steady, readable rhythm. Numerals and punctuation follow the same sculpted logic, with prominent top serifs and teardrop-like curves on bowls and tails.
Well-suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where a classic serif presence is desired. It also fits magazine and book-cover typography, as well as brand identities that need a refined, established tone. For long passages, it should work best when given comfortable size and line spacing so the contrast and sharp serifs don’t crowd.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting refinement and authority without feeling ornate. Its sharp serifs and high-contrast drawing give it a slightly dramatic, print-forward voice suited to cultured, institutional, or literary contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif with an editorial lean: familiar proportions, crisp detailing, and a polished rhythm that supports confident reading and strong typographic hierarchy.
Letterforms maintain a consistent baseline and a clean, confident silhouette; the italic is not shown, so the style reads as a straightforward roman. The sample text suggests strong performance at display and subheadline sizes, where the contrast and serifs remain crisp and the spacing stays even.
