A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs that often flare subtly as strokes meet the terminals. Capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in their internal spacing, with pointed apexes (A, V, W) and a sharply cut, elegant C/G curvature. Lowercase forms are bookish and steady, with a two-storey a, compact bowls, and a narrow, clean t; the g reads as a single-storey form with a strong ear and a generous lower loop. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with open counters and classical proportions that suit running text as well as display settings.
Well suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where contrast and serif detail can carry tone and hierarchy. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and premium branding applications that benefit from a classic, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking printed literature and old-style editorial typography while staying crisp and contemporary in its finish. Its sharp terminals and sculpted contrast add a sense of authority and formality without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, print-rooted serif with strong contrast and flared, bracketed finishing—balancing traditional letterform cues with crisp edges for clear hierarchy and an upscale editorial character.
Round letters show a clear vertical stress and tight, controlled curves, while joins and brackets keep the rhythm smooth in text. The uppercase Q has a concise, angled tail, and the overall set maintains consistent contrast and serif treatment across letters and figures.
