A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and more substantial verticals, showing a controlled, bookish rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared into the stems, giving terminals a gently widening, sculpted feel rather than blunt slabs. Curves are smooth and taut, with clear stress and sharp apexes on letters like A, V, W, and Y. The lowercase has a traditional structure with two-storey a and g, compact joins, and a relatively narrow, efficient footprint that keeps text color even at display-to-text sizes.
Well-suited for book typography, magazine and newspaper-style editorial design, and refined branding where a classic serif voice is desired. It performs especially well in headings, pull quotes, and larger text settings where the contrast and crisp detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is formal and composed, with a literary, editorial personality. Its sharp hairlines and flared finishing details suggest tradition and craft, lending an authoritative, refined voice that feels at home in established publishing contexts.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with added sophistication through flared, bracketed finishing and pronounced contrast. The intent appears to balance classic proportions with crisp, contemporary drawing for confident editorial and literary use.
Numerals appear lining with a classic serif treatment and noticeable contrast, matching the text face rather than a purely utilitarian set. The sample paragraph shows clean word shapes and steady spacing, with punctuation and capitals reading distinctly at larger sizes.
