This serif typeface features sharply tapered strokes with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Capitals are stately and relatively broad, with generous interior space and clean, decisive terminals. The lowercase shows a classic text rhythm with moderate proportions, a two-storey “g,” a compact ear on “g,” and a distinctly curved, descending “j” tail; serifs remain consistent and finely cut across the set. Numerals appear lining and sturdy, sharing the same high-contrast structure and tapered joins, producing a polished, print-oriented texture in paragraphs.
It suits book and long-form editorial settings where a classic serif voice is desired, and it also performs well in magazine layouts, pull quotes, and section heads that benefit from heightened contrast. The refined detailing can add a premium feel to branding, packaging, and formal invitations, especially when set at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is formal and literary, evoking traditional book typography and high-end editorial design. Its strong contrast and crisp detailing read as refined and authoritative, lending a sense of ceremony to titles and a classic voice to longer text.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for polished reading and display, balancing traditional letterforms with crisp, modern finishing. It aims to deliver a cultured, authoritative texture while keeping counters open and letterforms clear in continuous text.
In the text sample, the tight, consistent serif treatment and prominent contrast create a bright, rhythmic page color with clear word shapes. The italic is not shown; the presented style maintains a steady, upright stance with confident, sculpted curves.
