This serif shows pronounced contrast between thick vertical stems and hairline connecting strokes, with crisp, bracketed serifs and tapered, slightly flared terminals. Curves are smoothly modeled and relatively tight, giving letters a compact, sculpted feel, while capitals have a dignified, inscriptional presence. The lowercase features a traditional rhythm with sturdy stems, rounded bowls, and a two-storey a and g; counters are moderate and the overall color reads dark and stable in text. Numerals are similarly high-contrast, with clear, old-style-style modulation and sharp finishing details that match the letterforms.
Well suited to editorial design such as books and magazines, where its refined contrast and classic proportions support a traditional reading experience. It also performs strongly in display roles—headlines, pull quotes, and upscale branding—where the crisp serifs and sculpted curves can provide a distinctive, authoritative voice.
The tone is formal and cultivated, evoking book typography and legacy editorial design. Its sharp serifs and high-contrast drawing lend a sense of authority and polish, while the slightly dramatic modeling adds a subtle, premium edge suited to headline settings.
The design intention appears to be a conventional, text-oriented serif with elevated contrast and carefully finished details, aiming for a timeless, editorial character that can also carry dramatic emphasis in larger sizes.
In the sample text, spacing and stroke contrast create a strong vertical cadence, especially in capitals and mixed-case words. Fine hairlines and pointed joins suggest it will look best when given adequate size or output resolution so the delicate strokes remain clean.
