A high-contrast serif with bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and subtly calligraphic stress. Curves are smooth and full, while stems and hairlines create a crisp light–dark rhythm that reads clearly at display sizes. Proportions lean moderately wide with generous counters and a steady baseline, and the italics are not present in the shown material (upright only). Numerals appear lining with strong vertical emphasis and sharp, well-defined serifs.
Well suited to editorial design where a classic serif voice is desired, including magazine typography, book interiors, and formal publishing. It also performs well for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding where contrast and refinement help convey credibility.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a bookish, authoritative feel. Its contrast and refined detailing give it a slightly ceremonial, high-end editorial character rather than a utilitarian one.
Designed to deliver a conventional, readable serif with elevated contrast and polished detailing, balancing text-like construction with enough sharpness to hold presence in larger sizes. The consistent rhythm and familiar forms suggest an aim toward dependable, general-purpose typography for editorial and publishing contexts.
Uppercase forms feel stately and evenly paced, while the lowercase shows a restrained, text-oriented construction with clear differentiation between similar shapes. The ampersand is not shown; punctuation in the sample suggests clean, conventional forms with a prominent question mark and sturdy period.
