This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with a crisp, calligraphic stress and finely tapered, bracketed serifs. Proportions are relatively narrow with tall capitals and compact, open counters, producing a clean vertical rhythm in text. Joins and terminals are sharp and controlled, with subtle curvature in strokes and a slightly pointed, energetic finish on letters like V, W, and Y. Numerals and punctuation follow the same high-contrast logic, keeping a consistent, polished texture across sizes.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial settings where a classic serif voice is desired, as well as magazine layouts and headlines that benefit from high-contrast refinement. It can also support premium branding and packaging when set at sizes that allow the hairlines and serifs to remain crisp.
The overall tone is refined and literary, balancing classic bookish authority with a slightly sharper, more modern edge. Its high-contrast forms and tidy spacing convey formality and care, making the texture feel composed rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable serif for text while adding a sharper, more elevated character through high contrast, precise terminals, and carefully bracketed serifs. It aims for a timeless, editorial feel with enough crispness to stand out in display use.
In the sample text, the face maintains an even color despite the contrast, with clear word shapes and crisp detailing at large sizes. The italic is not shown; all impressions are based on the upright roman displayed. Distinctive pointed terminals and slender hairlines suggest best results where sufficient resolution and print quality preserve the fine details.
