A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed wedge serifs and strongly modulated strokes. The letterforms show a pronounced thick–thin rhythm, with tapered joins and sharp terminals that keep edges clean and decisive. Proportions feel open and slightly expanded, with sturdy capitals and a balanced, readable lowercase; counters are generous and the overall color is lively without becoming brittle. The figures and capitals carry a traditional, inscriptional poise, while the lowercase maintains an even, text-oriented cadence.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, books, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs effectively in headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that calls for a traditional, authoritative tone and a sharp, refined finish.
The tone is classical and editorial, conveying formality and authority with a refined, bookish presence. Its sharp serifs and clear contrast lend a sense of tradition and seriousness, suited to contexts where credibility and polish matter.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and crisp detailing, balancing readability with a more sculpted, premium feel for editorial and display applications.
In text, the spacing reads steady and composed, with clear word shapes and distinct character silhouettes (notably the strong capitals and well-defined bowls). The design favors crisp detail over softness, giving it a confident, print-like finish at display and larger text sizes.
