A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered strokes, crisp joins, and bracketed wedge-like serifs that flare subtly at terminals. The capitals are stately and wide-set with clear vertical stress, while the lowercase shows compact, text-oriented proportions and a steady rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are relatively open, and detailing (especially in diagonals and terminals) gives the letterforms a sculpted, slightly calligraphic finish. Numerals and punctuation carry the same contrast and pointed finishing, producing a clean, authoritative color in lines of text.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine-style settings where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and identity applications that benefit from high-contrast elegance and traditional authority.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a formal, editorial presence that reads as traditional rather than trendy. Its sharp contrast and tapered endings add refinement and a hint of drama, making it feel suited to established institutions and polished publishing contexts.
The font appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and refined finishing, aiming to deliver a familiar reading rhythm while adding a sharper, more polished edge for display moments within editorial and brand typography.
The design balances strong verticals with delicate hairlines, so it appears most confident when given enough size or print-quality rendering to preserve the thin strokes. The shapes maintain consistent detailing across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping mixed-case settings look cohesive and composed.
