A high-contrast text serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and clear modulation between thick stems and hairline joins. Capitals are broad and stately with generous internal space and pronounced finishing strokes, while lowercase shows compact, bookish proportions and a moderately sized x-height. Terminals frequently resolve into teardrop/ball forms (notably on letters like a, c, f, r, and y), and the overall drawing favors sharp, slightly tapered serifs that keep edges clean at display sizes. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with ascenders and descenders, adding a traditional rhythm to mixed text.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is desired, and it also performs strongly in magazine layouts and headlines that benefit from contrast and polish. The oldstyle numerals make it a natural fit for pages with frequent dates or numeric references in running text.
The tone is classical and literary, evoking traditional book typography and editorial seriousness. Its strong contrast and crisp detailing add a refined, slightly dramatic color that feels suited to established institutions and curated publishing.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and carefully finished terminals, aiming to balance readability with a refined, classical character for editorial and literary use.
The sample text shows a firm baseline and steady spacing with a lively texture created by thin hairlines and prominent terminals. In larger settings the delicate strokes read as elegant accents, while the wide capitals and open counters help maintain clarity in headlines and short passages.
