A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, bracketed wedge serifs. The letterforms are generously proportioned with wide capitals and roomy internal counters, giving lines a stately horizontal rhythm. Curves are smoothly drawn and the joins are clean, while terminals often finish in tapered points that keep the overall texture crisp rather than blunt. Numerals follow the same calligraphic stress and contrast, with elegant curves and clear, readable silhouettes.
Well-suited to book and editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, and it performs particularly well for magazine headlines, chapter titles, and pull quotes. The pronounced contrast and wide stance also make it effective for formal materials such as programs, invitations, and brand wordmarks that need a traditional, refined impression.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, evoking literary and institutional typography. Its strong contrast and sculpted serifs add a sense of ceremony and authority, while the open shapes keep it approachable and legible in longer passages.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and generous proportions, balancing classical cues with crisp detailing. It aims to deliver a composed, authoritative reading experience while providing enough personality for display use in editorial contexts.
The sample text shows a confident, even typographic color at large sizes, with distinctive pointed terminals on several lowercase forms that add character without becoming decorative. The spacing and wide proportions emphasize clarity and presence, especially in headings and prominent text settings.
