A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and wedge-like, tapered terminals that give strokes a carved, calligraphic bite. Serifs are narrow and pointed rather than blocky, and joins stay clean and controlled, creating a steady text rhythm. Curves are taut and slightly angular in feel, while capitals maintain sturdy proportions and lowercase forms keep a measured, bookish texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, essays, and long-form articles where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for heritage-leaning branding, invitations, certificates, and academic or institutional materials, especially when set at moderate sizes for clarity and tone.
This typeface feels formal and literary, with a distinctly traditional tone. Its sharp, confident details and high-contrast rhythm add a slightly dramatic, old-world seriousness that reads as authoritative rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic reading experience with strong typographic presence. Its high-contrast construction and pointed serif treatment suggest a goal of combining conventional text familiarity with a slightly more incisive, engraved character for emphasis in headings and pull quotes.
Numerals and capitals show a sturdy, assertive stance with clear stroke contrast, while the lowercase maintains consistent spacing and a disciplined baseline. The overall impression is clean and deliberate, with sharp finishing details that become more noticeable as size increases.
