This typeface shows crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced stroke modulation, pairing sturdy verticals with finer connecting strokes. Curves are generously rounded with clear, open counters, while terminals are sharp and well defined, producing a clean, print-like rhythm. Proportions feel balanced and slightly traditional, with compact lowercase forms and confident capitals that hold a steady texture in text.
It fits well in editorial layouts, long-form reading, and magazine typography where contrast and sharp finishing add sophistication. The confident capitals and clear numerals also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that aim for a classic, established impression.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, leaning toward an editorial, bookish voice rather than a purely neutral system style. Its contrast and precise finishing give it a refined, authoritative feel that suits serious or literary messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, print-forward texture with clear hierarchy and a polished, high-contrast presence. It balances readability with a more formal tone, aiming to feel composed and premium in both text and display settings.
Distinctive details include a single-storey “g” with a strong ear, a compact “a” with a pronounced terminal, and numerals that read clearly at display sizes. The shapes maintain a consistent baseline discipline and a calm, even cadence across mixed-case settings.
