A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a steady vertical axis. The serifs are bracketed and tapered, with sharp, clean terminals that give the forms a chiseled, print-like finish. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and moderately wide, while the lowercase shows compact bowls and a slightly calligraphic rhythm. Numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights, reinforcing a bookish texture and an organic baseline pattern.
Well-suited for book and long-form editorial settings where a traditional serif texture is desired, and strong enough for headlines and pull quotes. It also fits classic branding systems, cultural institutions, and formal materials such as programs or invitations where a refined, established tone is appropriate.
The overall tone is classic and formal, leaning toward literary and institutional rather than casual or playful. Its contrast and sharp finishing details communicate refinement and authority, with a familiar editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable serif voice with elevated contrast and carefully finished details, balancing classical proportions with enough sharpness to stand out in titles and prominent text.
In running text the color is relatively strong, with clear stroke modulation that creates lively internal shapes and distinct word silhouettes. The design reads confidently at display sizes and maintains a traditional, engraved/press aesthetic in headings.
