This serif typeface shows crisp, bracketed serifs and a pronounced thick–thin modulation that gives strokes a sculpted, editorial feel. Proportions are fairly traditional, with sturdy verticals, tapered joins, and clear, open counters that keep the shapes readable at text sizes. The capitals are stately and balanced, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with compact curves and neatly finished terminals; the numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with elegant shaping and stable alignment.
It performs well in long-form reading contexts such as books and editorial layouts, where its classic proportions and structured rhythm produce an even text color. The contrast and crisp detailing also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from a traditional, authoritative serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking conventional book typography and institutional print. Its sharp contrast and carefully finished serifs communicate seriousness and authority, with a refined, slightly dramatic elegance that suits formal content.
The typeface appears designed as a conventional, high-contrast serif for polished publishing and formal communication, aiming to combine familiar bookish structure with a sharper, more refined finish.
