A high-contrast serif with crisp, sharply cut terminals and bracketed wedge-like serifs that flare from narrow joins. Strokes show a pronounced thick–thin rhythm and a slightly calligraphic modulation, with subtly tapered arms and angled finishing cuts. Proportions feel traditional and bookish, with compact lowercase forms, a moderate x-height, and numerals that follow the same refined contrast and serif logic for an even text color.
It performs well in long-form reading contexts such as books and editorial layouts where contrast and traditional serif structure help guide the eye. The crisp terminals and strong rhythm also make it effective for larger sizes—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand wordmarks that want a classic, established voice.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with an editorial seriousness that reads as established and literary. The sharp finishing details add a slightly dramatic, cultivated feel suited to formal communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif that leans on classical forms and strong contrast to convey tradition and authority. Its sharp, tapered finishing gives it enough character to stand out in display settings while remaining disciplined for text use.
Caps present a stately presence with firm horizontals and decisive serifs, while the lowercase maintains a smooth reading rhythm and clear word shapes. Round letters (like O/Q) appear carefully balanced against the strong vertical stress, and punctuation and figures harmonize with the same angular terminal vocabulary.
