A crisp serif with pronounced stroke contrast and sharply tapered, bracketed wedge serifs. The design shows a strong vertical axis and clean, upright construction, with carefully controlled curves and pointed terminals that add bite without feeling ornamental. Uppercase proportions are stately and evenly paced, while the lowercase keeps a traditional book-face rhythm with clear counters and sturdy stems; numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with sculpted curves and distinct silhouettes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a traditional serif voice is desired. The contrast and sharp detailing also make it effective for display use—chapter openers, pull quotes, and refined branding—especially when paired with generous spacing and clean layouts.
The overall tone is classical and literate, projecting polish and authority. Its sharp serifs and contrast create a refined, slightly dramatic presence that reads as editorial and institution-friendly rather than casual.
The design appears aimed at delivering a conventional, readable text serif with elevated sharpness and contrast, balancing classic proportions with a more incisive, contemporary edge for editorial and display settings.
At larger sizes the pointed terminals and high-contrast joins become a defining texture, giving headlines a crisp sparkle. In continuous text, the steady vertical rhythm and conventional serif forms support a familiar, bookish color.
