A sharply drawn serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and subtly tapered terminals that feel carved rather than purely mechanical. Strokes show moderate contrast with firm verticals and neatly sheared joins; curves are smooth and controlled, while diagonals stay taut. The design keeps a steady rhythm in text, with compact, well-defined counters and clear, traditional proportions across caps and lowercase. Numerals match the text color with sturdy forms and small finishing details that echo the serif treatment.
It performs well for continuous reading in books and long-form editorial layouts where a traditional serif color is desired. The crisp serifs and controlled contrast also support display use in headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding where a classic, authoritative voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, with a confident, slightly old‑world seriousness. Its crisp finishing and traditional proportions give it an authoritative presence suited to refined, text-forward settings.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a traditional text serif: prioritizing readability and consistent texture while adding crisp, slightly flared finishing to give strokes a sculpted, ink-trace character.
Capitals read stately and well balanced, while lowercase details (notably the ear and terminals on forms like a, r, and y) add a lightly calligraphic edge without becoming ornamental. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright.
