A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply cut, bracketed serifs. The capitals are tall and stately with clean, symmetrical construction, while the lowercase shows compact, well-contained bowls and a steady rhythm suited to continuous reading. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals tend toward sharp or tapered finishes, and overall spacing feels open enough to stay legible while maintaining a polished, print-like texture. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with clear, traditional forms and strong vertical stress.
It is well suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine typography, where the refined contrast can add elegance without sacrificing structure. It can also serve effectively for headings, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from a traditional, authoritative serif voice.
The font conveys a classic, formal tone with an editorial, bookish confidence. Its high-contrast strokes and precise serifs suggest refinement and tradition, reading as authoritative rather than casual.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver a conventional, print-oriented serif experience with elevated contrast and crisp finishing details, balancing readability with a more upscale editorial character.
The design’s sharp joins and tapered details give it a slightly dramatic presence at display sizes, while the consistent proportions across the alphabet keep paragraphs from feeling overly decorative. Italic is not shown in the provided images.
