A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and sturdy vertical stems, showing clear thick–thin modulation across both roman capitals and lowercase. Serifs are bracketed and relatively fine, with crisp terminals that keep counters open and letterforms legible at text sizes. Proportions are fairly traditional, with moderate roundness in bowls, a two-storey “g,” and a compact, text-oriented lowercase that sits comfortably under larger, authoritative capitals. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast and vertical emphasis, producing an even, print-like texture across lines.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and essays, as well as magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs convincingly for refined headings, pull quotes, and chapter titles where its contrast and crisp serifs can provide a sense of authority and tradition.
The overall tone is classical and cultivated, with a distinctly editorial, bookish voice. Its contrast and sharp detailing lend a sense of refinement and formality, while the familiar shapes keep it grounded and readable.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional, print-oriented serif voice with elevated contrast for elegance, while retaining familiar, text-first proportions for readability. The intent appears to balance refined detailing in display settings with a dependable rhythm for editorial typography.
In continuous text the rhythm is steady and vertical, with pronounced contrast creating bright, elegant highlights along curves and joins. At larger sizes the fine serifs and hairlines become a defining feature, giving headlines a polished, traditional character.
