A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered strokes and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that sharpen at the ends. The letterforms show a strong vertical stress and clear thick–thin modulation, with elegant, slightly sculpted joins and small details that feel engraved rather than geometric. Proportions are traditional and steady, with a moderate x-height, open counters, and a rhythmic texture that stays smooth in text while remaining distinctive in display sizes. Numerals and capitals follow the same formal model, with bold hairlines, decisive serifs, and a composed, print-oriented finish.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial, and magazine layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding systems that benefit from sharp contrast and confident, classical letterforms.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, conveying authority and polish without feeling overly ornate. It reads as literary and formal, suited to contexts where tradition, credibility, and a refined voice are important.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, high-contrast text serif with enough sharp detail to feel premium in display use. Its controlled proportions and clear rhythm suggest a focus on readability and typographic authority, while the crisp terminals add a touch of sophistication for titles and featured text.
Several glyphs feature subtly calligraphic terminals and angled entry/exit strokes that add sparkle at larger sizes. The italic is not shown; the presented roman maintains a disciplined, upright stance with consistent contrast and carefully balanced whitespace.
