This typeface is a high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty main strokes, producing a distinctly sculpted, ink-on-paper look. Serifs are sharply defined with subtle bracketing and gently widening terminals that give joins and stroke endings a slightly flared, chiseled feel. Proportions are traditional and steady, with moderately wide capitals, compact lowercase, and clear, open interior spaces. The lowercase shows a readable rhythm with a two-storey “a,” a compact “e,” and a gently curving “g,” while numerals appear lining and sturdy, designed to sit cleanly alongside text.
It performs especially well in editorial contexts such as books, magazines, and long-form reading where a classical serif texture is desired. The strong contrast and crisp terminals also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that need a traditional, print-forward character.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, evoking book typography and established print conventions. Its contrast and sharp finishing lend it a confident, authoritative voice suited to formal communication and heritage-leaning design.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized take on classical serif construction: disciplined proportions and vertical stress paired with sharpened detailing and subtly flared endings. It aims to balance readability with a distinctive, polished texture suitable for both text and display settings.
At larger sizes the sharp terminals and hairline details become a prominent stylistic feature, while in dense settings the contrast and pointed joins create a lively texture. The letterforms maintain a consistent vertical stress and a measured, traditional cadence across the alphabet and figures.
