A crisp serif with pronounced stroke contrast and tapered, bracketed serifs that end in sharp, wedge-like terminals. The letterforms feel sculpted and slightly calligraphic, with steady verticals and controlled curves that give a polished, print-like rhythm. Proportions read on the generous side, with open counters and clear spacing that helps the set stay legible in text while retaining a distinctive, cut-stone edge in details.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, long-form articles, and institutional communications where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from crisp contrast and assertive serif details.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a formal, editorial presence. Its sharp terminals and high-contrast modeling add a hint of drama and ceremony, making it feel authoritative rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif structure with elevated contrast and sharply finished terminals, balancing readability with a more dramatic, engraved-like character. It aims for a familiar typographic foundation while adding distinctive flair through tapered serifs and angular joins.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and angular finishing strokes become more pronounced at larger sizes, lending a headline-ready texture without losing a conventional reading cadence. The numerals share the same serifed, high-contrast construction, keeping the typographic color consistent across mixed text and figures.
