A conventional text serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced contrast between thick verticals and fine hairlines. Capitals are broad and steady, with slightly flared terminals and carefully tapered joins that give the outlines a carved, sculptural feel. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height, compact bowls, and teardrop-like finishing on some strokes, producing a clear, traditional rhythm. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with rounded forms and delicate interior counters that read cleanly at display sizes.
Works well for book and long-form editorial settings where a classic serif voice is desired, and it also performs strongly for headlines and subheads that can show off its contrast and sharp detailing. It’s a natural fit for cultural institutions, formal announcements, and premium packaging copy where a traditional, authoritative tone is needed.
The overall tone is formal and literary, evoking book typography and established editorial design. Its sharp serifs, polished contrast, and controlled proportions communicate authority and refinement rather than playfulness. The texture on the page feels traditional and slightly dramatic, well-suited to serious content and classic branding.
Likely designed to deliver a familiar, dependable text-serif structure while adding a slightly more dramatic, high-contrast refinement for contemporary editorial use. The intent appears to balance readability and tradition with a polished, display-friendly crispness.
Curves are smooth and relatively tight, while stems remain firm and vertical, giving lines of text a stable, composed color. Hairlines and thin joints become quite delicate in places, creating a refined sparkle that is more at home in print-like settings and larger sizes than in coarse, low-resolution applications.
