A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered terminals and finely bracketed serifs that lend a crisp, engraved feel. Strokes show strong modulation with hairline joins and fuller verticals, while counters remain open and carefully shaped for text rhythm. Proportions are fairly traditional: capitals are stately and slightly narrow, with smooth curves on round letters and distinct, calligraphic inflections at joins. The lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with elegant ascenders and descenders; detailing like the beaked and hooked forms (notably in letters such as a, f, g, and y) adds texture without becoming ornate. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic, reading cleanly with a dignified, editorial tone.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined stationery when set with comfortable leading to preserve the delicacy of its thin strokes.
The overall tone is classic and cultured, evoking traditional book typography and polished print materials. Its sharp hairlines and refined serifs feel formal and deliberate, suited to content that aims to sound established, trustworthy, and well-edited rather than casual or playful.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a refined, slightly calligraphic finish—prioritizing elegant contrast, crisp serifs, and a familiar reading rhythm that works in continuous text while still offering a distinguished presence in display sizes.
At larger sizes the hairline details and tapered terminals become especially prominent, giving headings a poised, premium look. The sample text shows even spacing and a steady baseline, with enough internal space in letters to keep paragraphs from feeling overly dark despite the strong contrast.
