A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that read as finely cut rather than blunt. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with thin hairlines in joins and cross-strokes and sturdy verticals that keep the texture stable in paragraphs. Proportions are fairly traditional, with moderate capitals and a lowercase that stays readable without feeling oversized; counters are open and curves are smoothly drawn. The overall rhythm is even and text-oriented, with a slightly sculpted, editorial finish rather than a display-only sharpness.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its disciplined rhythm and contrast create a polished typographic color. It also fits academic or institutional materials, as well as refined branding and packaging that benefit from a traditional, premium voice.
The tone is classic and formal, evoking book typography and established print traditions. It feels composed and authoritative, with an elegant, literary character that suits serious or refined messaging more than casual or playful uses.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-first serif that delivers a familiar literary feel while adding a crisp, high-contrast finish for elegance. Its forms prioritize steady paragraph texture and classical proportions, aiming for reliability across continuous reading and formal display lines.
The numerals and caps maintain the same chiseled contrast and serif logic as the letters, giving mixed alphanumeric settings a cohesive look. In running text, the contrast and fine details add sophistication, while the sturdy stems help keep paragraphs from appearing overly delicate.
