A high-contrast serif with a vertical, upright stance and distinctly sculpted terminals. Strokes taper cleanly into flared, wedge-like endings, with bracketed joins that soften the transitions while keeping edges crisp. The capitals are stately and proportionally balanced, while the lowercase shows compact counters and a traditional two-storey construction (notably in a and g) that reinforces a bookish rhythm. Overall spacing and color read even, with strong hairlines and decisive thick strokes that give the face a polished, print-oriented presence.
Works well for headlines, decks, and pull quotes in editorial design, as well as book and magazine typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also support branding for institutions or premium products when used at display sizes and with comfortable leading.
The tone is refined and editorial, combining classical book typography cues with a slightly dramatic, display-leaning contrast. It feels authoritative and literary—suited to contexts that want gravitas, tradition, and clarity rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading voice with heightened contrast and sculpted, flared terminals for added sophistication and punch. It balances familiar text-model proportions with display-like detailing to stand out in titles and prominent copy.
Numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic, with open forms and sharp finishing that keep them clear at larger sizes. The text sample shows strong word shapes and a steady baseline, while the pronounced contrast suggests best results with adequate size and line spacing.
