A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and subtly flared stroke endings that widen into the terminals. Curves are smooth and fairly compact, while verticals read firm and upright, creating a steady text rhythm. Details are sharp—especially on diagonals and pointed joins—yet the serifs remain controlled rather than ornate. The lowercase shows a moderate x-height with traditional proportions and clear differentiation between rounds and stems, supporting a confident, bookish texture in paragraph settings.
This face is well-suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where a classic, high-contrast serif can provide structure and authority. It can also serve in headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from sharp terminals and a traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a refined, editorial presence. Its sharp, well-defined terminals add a slightly dramatic, authoritative voice without becoming decorative. It feels suited to institutions, publishing, and contexts where tradition and clarity are part of the message.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional serif model with pronounced contrast and tapered, slightly flared endings, aiming for a polished reading texture and a confident editorial tone. It balances crisp detail with conventional proportions to remain versatile across text and larger sizes.
In the all-caps grid, wide forms like W and M carry strong contrast and pointed inner joins, while the numerals maintain the same crisp serif logic and formal stance. In the text sample, the face holds together with a consistent stroke modulation and a darker, print-like color, suggesting it is meant to read as a serious serif rather than a display novelty.
