A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, wedge-like terminals. Serifs are mostly bracketed and finely tapered, giving stems a clean, chiseled finish rather than heavy footed slabs. Curves are smooth and controlled with relatively narrow apertures in letters like C and S, while capitals show stately proportions and consistent vertical stress. The lowercase has compact, bookish forms; the two-storey g and the slender f and t contribute to a refined text rhythm, and figures follow the same high-contrast, formal construction.
Well-suited to book typography, longform editorial layouts, and magazine-style compositions where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal collateral such as invitations or programs, especially when set with generous leading and margins.
The overall tone is cultivated and editorial, with a sense of tradition and polish. Its sharp terminals and disciplined contrast read as serious and authoritative, while the tapered details add elegance suitable for premium, print-forward typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that blends classical proportions with crisp, modern sharpness. Its goal seems to be delivering an authoritative reading texture while offering enough elegance for display use in editorial settings.
In the text sample, the face keeps a steady baseline and even color at larger sizes, but the fine hairlines and pointed joins suggest it benefits from comfortable sizes and good rendering conditions. The design’s sharp triangular terminals become a defining character in headings, giving words a subtly dramatic, engraved feel.
