A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sculpted, bracketed serifs that flare subtly into the terminals. The letterforms show a traditional, calligraphic stress and confident vertical rhythm, with generous counters and carefully tapered joins. Capitals are sturdy and classical in proportion, while the lowercase balances readability with refined detail—noticeable in the crisp ear and terminal shaping on forms like a, e, r, and y. Numerals and punctuation match the same sharp, engraved-like finish, giving the set a cohesive, print-oriented texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography—books, long-form articles, and magazine layouts—where its contrast and serif detailing can read as premium and composed. It also performs strongly in display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a classic, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is serious and editorial, evoking established publishing and institutional voice. Its sharp contrast and flared finishing lend a sense of ceremony and authority, while the controlled curves keep it approachable enough for extended reading.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classical serif voice: strong contrast for elegance, flared serif shaping for character, and stable proportions for dependable readability in professional publishing contexts.
Spacing appears even and deliberate in the text sample, producing a steady gray value despite the strong contrast. Curved letters (C, G, S, O) are smooth and disciplined, and diagonal structures (V, W, X) feel crisp without becoming brittle, reinforcing a polished, traditional impression.
