A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and sturdy vertical stems, showing a clear stress in rounded forms. Serifs are bracketed and finely tapered, giving joins a smooth, carved-in feel rather than abrupt terminals. Proportions lean slightly narrow with generous capitals and a traditional, moderately sized x-height; curves are clean and controlled with sharp inner counters and neatly finished stroke endings. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, reading as traditional lining figures with strong vertical emphasis.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book typography, and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for formal headlines, pull quotes, programs, and invitation-style materials where contrast and refinement can be shown at larger sizes.
The overall tone is classical and authoritative, with a refined, old-style book sensibility suited to formal settings. Its contrast and sharp detailing add a polished, editorial character that feels established and trustworthy rather than casual or playful.
This font appears designed to deliver a conventional, literary serif voice with elevated contrast and careful finishing, balancing readability with a more polished, display-friendly elegance. The intention seems to be a dependable text face that can also step up for sophisticated headings.
The design maintains consistent rhythm and spacing across the alphabet, with especially crisp diagonals and carefully tapered terminals that keep the texture lively at larger sizes. The combination of pronounced contrast and bracketed serifs suggests it will look best when given sufficient resolution and breathing room.
