A crisp, high-contrast serif with bracketed serifs and a slightly expanded, unhurried stance. Stems read firm and vertical, while curved strokes thin noticeably into sharp terminals, creating a refined, print-like sparkle. Serifs are carefully shaped rather than slabby, with subtle curvature and clear triangular stress in places, giving the alphabet a composed, classical rhythm. Uppercase forms feel stately and even, and the lowercase maintains a steady texture with compact counters and clearly articulated joins and terminals.
Well suited to book typography and long-form editorial where a classical serif voice is desired, and it also performs convincingly for magazine headlines and subheads thanks to its contrast and crisp terminals. It can add a premium, traditional tone to packaging or branding applications that benefit from a conventional, authoritative serif.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with an editorial gravitas that feels at home in books and established publications. Its contrast and crisp finishing add a sense of authority and polish without becoming ornamental or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif voice with strong print contrast and a measured, slightly wide rhythm—aiming for clarity, tradition, and editorial credibility across both continuous reading and display settings.
At text sizes the face produces a dark, confident color with pronounced thick–thin transitions that become especially evident in rounds and diagonals. Numerals follow the same serifed, contrast-led design, contributing to a cohesive, old-style editorial feel in mixed text and figures.
