A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered stroke endings and bracketed serifs that feel subtly flared at the terminals. The verticals are sturdy while hairlines stay fine, giving a clean, bright texture in text. Uppercase proportions are classical and stately, with pointed apexes (A, V, W) and a round, open O. Lowercase shows compact, controlled forms with a two-storey a and g, a small-e eye, and an ear on g; curves transition into stems with smooth bracketing rather than abrupt joins.
Well-suited to editorial design and book typography where a classic serif voice and high-contrast detailing are desirable. It also works effectively for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials such as invitations or programs, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the fine hairlines can shine.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking literary and institutional contexts. Its sharp details and contrast add a touch of elegance and ceremony, while the steady rhythm keeps it composed and serious rather than ornamental.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary, polished take on a classical serif model, balancing sharp, high-contrast detailing with readable, even text rhythm. The subtle flare and bracketing at stroke endings appear intended to add sophistication without drifting into decorative display territory.
In the sample paragraph, spacing and counters read evenly at display sizes, with strong lettershape clarity and a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. The numerals appear lining and similarly high-contrast, matching the text color and formality of the letters.
