This serif shows strong thick–thin modulation with crisp, bracketed serifs and a fairly wide overall stance. Curves are smoothly drawn and slightly sculpted, while terminals tend toward sharp, wedge-like finishes that give the outlines a clean, cut look. Uppercase forms feel steady and traditional with generous counters; the lowercase maintains a balanced rhythm with moderate ascenders and a clear, readable texture in continuous text. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and distinct silhouettes.
It works well for book typography, magazines, and other editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice and strong contrast are desirable. The clear shapes and generous counters support longer passages, while the crisp serifs and sculpted strokes also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and sophisticated brand typography.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting a composed, literary presence. Its sharp finishing details and pronounced contrast add a refined, slightly dramatic flavor without becoming ornamental, making it feel suited to serious, polished typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif with a refined finish, balancing readability with a more stylized, sharply articulated serif and terminal treatment for added presence in editorial settings.
In the sample text the spacing and letterfit read as even, with open inner spaces that help maintain clarity at display-to-text sizes. The distinctive wedge-like terminals and crisp serifs create a confident line of text and give headings a dignified, traditional voice.
