A sculpted serif with crisp, bracketed terminals and subtly flared stroke endings that give verticals a gently chiseled feel. Curves are smooth and well-tensioned, with clear thick–thin modulation and sharp apexes in forms like A, V, W, and Y. Serifs read as compact wedges rather than long slabs, helping the outlines stay clean at text sizes while still looking crisp in display. Lowercase construction is traditional and bookish, with a two-storey a, a compact e with a strong eye, and a curved-tail g that adds movement without becoming decorative.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography, where its crisp serifs and steady rhythm support readability. It also performs convincingly in headlines, pull quotes, and branding systems that want a classic serif voice with a slightly sharpened, contemporary finish.
The overall tone is literary and editorial, projecting confidence and tradition with a slightly dramatic, engraved edge. Its sharp finishing and controlled contrast give it a serious, high-end flavor suited to publishing and institutional communication.
The design appears intended to bridge traditional print serif conventions with a more sculpted, flared finishing, delivering a composed reading texture while retaining enough edge and personality for prominent editorial display.
Spacing appears open and steady in the sample text, supporting long lines without looking loose. Numerals are clear and sturdy, with old-style-like curvature in forms such as 2 and 3 and a distinctive 9 that adds personality while remaining readable.
