A crisp serif with moderately tapered, flared stroke terminals and bracketed serifs that give stems a subtly sculpted feel. The letterforms show a balanced, moderate contrast and a steady vertical stress, with open counters and clear apertures that keep text forms clean. Proportions feel slightly condensed in places with energetic width shifts across the set, and the punctuation and numerals follow the same sharp, well-defined rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, while joins and terminals remain pointed and precise rather than soft or blunt.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a stable rhythm and crisp details support comfortable text. It also performs well for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and institutional branding that benefits from a classic serif voice with a bit of flare and sharpness.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a confident, literate presence suited to serious reading. Its crisp terminals and controlled contrast add a refined, slightly formal voice without becoming ornamental. The texture on the page feels composed and authoritative, evoking established print typography.
Likely designed as a contemporary text serif that nods to traditional printing forms while emphasizing clarity and a clean, modern finish. The flared terminals and bracketed serifs appear intended to add character and hierarchy without sacrificing paragraph legibility.
Capitals have a dignified stance and strong headline presence, while lowercase forms read clearly with sturdy bowls and a straightforward, text-forward construction. Numerals are prominent and high-contrast enough to stand out in running text, and the overall spacing produces an even, readable color at paragraph sizes.
