A crisp serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and a pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes show a mostly vertical stress with sharp, clean terminals and compact joins, producing a refined, slightly calligraphic texture. The capitals are sturdy and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with clear ascenders/descenders and rounded bowls that stay controlled rather than soft. Overall spacing reads steady and text-ready, with punctuation and numerals matching the same high-contrast, sharply finished construction.
Well suited for long-form reading in books, magazines, and other editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and section openers, where its high contrast and crisp terminals provide elegant emphasis while remaining conventional and legible.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone—confident, composed, and traditional. Its high-contrast rhythm and precise serifs evoke established print typography, lending an air of authority and seriousness suited to formal communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances elegance with practicality. Its controlled contrast, classic proportions, and consistent finishing suggest a focus on dependable editorial typography that can move comfortably between body copy and display sizes.
The sample text shows a consistent color at paragraph sizes, with strong verticals and distinctive, pointed finishing strokes that add clarity in headings without becoming overly decorative. Numerals appear lining with similarly sharp serif treatment, supporting typographic consistency across mixed content.
