A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that give the stems a carved, calligraphic feel. Curves are smooth and generous, with sharply tapered joins and pointed terminals that add bite to letters like S, V, W, and y. The lowercase shows a traditional, bookish construction with a two-storey a, a compact e with a strong horizontal bar, and a g that reads as single-storey with a pronounced ear. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and lively diagonals, matching the text rhythm and giving paragraphs a classic, varied texture.
Works well for long-form reading in print-oriented settings such as books and editorial layouts, where the contrast and bracketed serifs create a familiar, classical page color. It also suits magazine headlines and sophisticated branding, especially when a traditional voice with sharper, modern edge is desired.
The overall tone is formal and literary, balancing elegance with a slightly dramatic sharpness at the terminals. It feels suited to established institutions and cultured editorial contexts, projecting confidence without becoming ornamental.
Likely designed to evoke a classical reading-serif heritage while emphasizing crisp terminals and flared endings for extra articulation at display sizes. The inclusion of oldstyle figures and the consistent calligraphic contrast suggest an aim toward refined editorial typography with strong typographic color.
Spacing looks relatively compact for a serif of this contrast, helping headlines feel dense and weighty. The ampersand is energetic and traditional, and the letterforms maintain consistent contrast and terminal treatment across caps, lowercase, and figures.
