A high-contrast serif with sculpted, slightly flared stroke endings and bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than purely mechanical. Vertical stems are strong and straight, while curves show pronounced thick–thin modulation and smooth transitions, giving bowls and rounds a polished, tensioned look. Capitals are broad and steady with crisp terminals; the lowercase shows traditional proportions with a rounded, readable rhythm and clear, open counters. Numerals follow the same formal, contrasty construction and sit comfortably alongside the text forms.
Well suited to editorial systems where a refined serif is needed for headings and subheads, and it also holds up in larger blocks of text in the sample. The crisp contrast and sculpted serifs make it a strong choice for magazine layouts, book typography, institutional communications, and premium branding where a classic voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a bookish elegance that reads as traditional without feeling overly delicate. Its sharp contrast and sculpted detailing suggest a premium, editorial voice—confident, composed, and slightly formal.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif structure with subtle flaring and calligraphic modulation, producing a distinctive yet familiar reading texture. It aims for a balance of tradition and contemporary sharpness, delivering a confident typographic color for both display and text settings.
Spacing appears generous enough for continuous reading in the text sample, and the contrast is handled cleanly so strokes remain distinct at display sizes. The shapes lean toward classical serif conventions, with a restrained liveliness in terminals and flare that adds character without becoming decorative.
