A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines, weighty verticals, and distinctly bracketed serifs that often end in wedge-like terminals. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic in stress, giving round letters a sculpted, engraved feel. The lowercase shows moderate ascender height, open counters, and a lively rhythm, while capitals are stately with crisp joins and pronounced finishing strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with clear, traditional shapes that read well at display and text sizes.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and magazines where a classic serif voice is desired, and it also scales nicely to headlines and pull quotes thanks to its crisp contrast and strong silhouettes. It can support brand identities seeking a traditional, premium tone—especially for publishing, cultural institutions, and formal communications.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a confident, bookish seriousness. Its crisp contrast and pointed terminals add a refined, slightly dramatic flavor that suits cultured, institutional, or literary contexts without feeling ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a refined, print-oriented character, balancing readable proportions with sharper terminal detailing for presence. Its contrast and bracketed serifs suggest a goal of delivering an authoritative, classical voice that remains versatile across editorial typography.
Diagonal letters and terminals (notably on characters like W, V, and x) emphasize pointed serifs that create a sparkling texture in larger settings. The italic is not shown; the roman style carries the expressive detail through contrast and terminal shaping rather than slant or flourish.
