A refined serif with strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems carry substantial weight while hairlines stay crisp and sharp, producing a bright, engraved rhythm in both display sizes and text. Proportions feel generous and slightly expansive, with steady vertical stress and carefully tapered joins that give curves a sculpted, polished finish. Lowercase forms are traditional and readable, with compact bowls and decisive terminals; numerals and capitals share the same high-contrast, sharp-edged construction for a cohesive voice.
Well-suited to editorial design, long-form reading, and book typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs well for magazine headings, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from high-contrast elegance and a confident typographic color.
The overall tone is formal and cultivated, combining a bookish seriousness with an editorial sheen. Its strong contrast and crisp serifs suggest tradition and authority while still feeling stylish and contemporary in headlines.
The design intent appears to modernize a conventional text serif by emphasizing contrast, crisp detailing, and generous proportions. It aims for a versatile reading face that can shift easily into display use while maintaining a disciplined, traditional structure.
Spacing appears comfortable and even in the sample text, with clear word shapes and sturdy capitals that hold presence. The ampersand and punctuation match the sharp, tapered detailing, helping the font maintain a consistent, upscale texture across mixed-case settings.
