A crisp serif with pronounced stroke contrast and finely tapered, bracketed serifs. The forms are upright with a steady, vertical rhythm and clear thick–thin transitions that stay controlled in text. Capitals are gracefully proportioned and slightly narrow-feeling, while the lowercase shows open counters and relatively long extenders, giving lines an airy texture. Curves are smooth and disciplined, with terminals that tend toward sharp, delicate finishing rather than blunt cuts.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely in display sizes for refined headlines, cultural or academic materials, and formal brand applications such as invitations or identity systems.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, leaning toward editorial and bookish sophistication. Its high-contrast detailing and restrained shapes suggest formality and heritage without becoming ornate.
Likely designed to provide a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text serif: elegant enough for display, yet structured and consistent for sustained reading. The intent appears to balance crisp sophistication with clear, conventional letterforms for broad typographic utility.
The figures appear text-oriented with classic proportions and distinct shapes for easy scanning, while the punctuation and ampersand maintain the same fine, calligraphic contrast. In larger sizes the hairlines read particularly sharp, emphasizing a polished, premium look.
