A crisp, high-contrast serif with bracketed serifs and a strongly vertical axis. Strokes transition sharply from thick stems to hairline joins, with pointed, wedge-like terminals on many capitals and diagonally cut serifs that keep the texture lively. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, while the lowercase shows compact, bookish proportions and clear differentiation between similar forms. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with elegant curves and tapered finishing strokes that read well at display and text sizes.
This font is well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine settings that benefit from a structured, classical serif color. Its contrast and crisp terminals also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that aims for a traditional, cultivated impression.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, with a traditional, literary voice. It feels suited to institutions and publishing contexts where clarity and authority matter, while the sharp detailing adds a touch of refinement and drama.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and sharpened detailing, balancing readability with a more polished, editorial finish. Its forms suggest an aim to evoke classic print typography while maintaining a clean, contemporary crispness.
The rhythm in running text is dark and steady, with pronounced hairlines that create sparkle and emphasize the type’s precision. Capitals carry a slightly monumental presence, and the lowercase maintains a disciplined, conventional structure that supports extended reading.
