A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines, weighty vertical stems, and sharply bracketed wedge serifs. Curves are smooth and sculpted, with teardrop and ball terminals appearing in several lowercase forms, giving the rhythm a slightly calligraphic finish. Proportions feel traditional and text-oriented, with moderate apertures and a steady baseline presence; numerals and capitals share the same polished, print-like structure.
Works well for book interiors, magazine editorial design, and other long-form settings where a classic serif texture is desired. The pronounced contrast and sculpted terminals also make it effective for display roles such as headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and formal printed materials like invitations or programs.
The overall tone is classical and formal, projecting literary authority and a refined, editorial sensibility. Its sharp contrast and pointed details add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, suited to traditional branding and cultured layouts.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a conventional text serif with heightened contrast and finely cut serifs, balancing readability with a distinctly elegant, print-tradition character. Its detailing suggests a focus on giving everyday editorial typography a more polished, upscale voice.
At larger sizes the hairline connections and terminals read as elegant details, while in longer passages the strong thick–thin modulation creates a lively texture. The figures show similarly pronounced contrast, with a stately, old-style feel in their curves and joins.
