A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered terminals and clearly bracketed serifs. Strokes show a pronounced thick–thin modulation, with thin hairlines in joins and curves and sturdier verticals that create a crisp, engraved-like rhythm. Proportions feel traditional and bookish: capitals are stately and balanced, lowercase forms are compact with a moderate x-height, and counters are open enough to keep text from feeling tight. Numerals align with the same contrast model, with distinctive curves and fine entry/exit strokes that read cleanly at display sizes.
Well suited to long-form editorial typography such as books, essays, and magazine layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials like programs or invitations, where the contrast and crisp terminals add elegance.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with a formal, editorial sensibility. Its sharp details and strong contrast evoke traditional print typography and convey authority and refinement rather than casualness.
This design appears intended as a conventional, print-oriented serif that prioritizes refined contrast and traditional letterforms for readable, authoritative text and polished display settings.
The typeface relies on fine hairlines and pointed finishing strokes, giving it a crisp texture in larger text while suggesting it will want adequate size or resolution to keep the thinnest strokes from breaking up. Spacing appears even and conventional, supporting continuous reading with a familiar, bookish cadence.
