This is a high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than blunt. Stems run straight and vertical, while rounds show pronounced thick–thin modulation and a slightly calligraphic stress. Proportions are traditional, with compact bowls and a steady rhythm in text; capitals read authoritative and slightly narrow, and the lowercase shows crisp joins and a restrained, polished texture.
It performs well for magazines, book typography, and editorial systems where a classic serif texture is desired. The strong contrast also supports pull quotes, headlines, and identity work where you want a refined, premium impression, while the consistent lowercase rhythm can carry longer reading at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is classic and upscale, with an editorial confidence that suggests print tradition. Its sharp serifs and glossy contrast give it a formal, cultivated voice suited to serious or refined messaging rather than casual, everyday UI.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif that balances a readable text color with a more luxurious, print-forward character. It aims to evoke traditional book and magazine typography through sculpted serifs, controlled proportions, and crisp, elegant detailing.
The numerals and capitals carry a display-like sparkle from the contrast, while the lowercase maintains enough regularity to hold together in paragraphs. Curved characters (like C, G, S, and e) show pronounced shaping and neatly finished terminals, which contributes to a precise, carefully drafted look.
