A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and compact proportions. Stems are firm and vertical, with tapered joins and small, bracketed wedge-like serifs that create pointed terminals on many strokes. Counters are relatively tight and the overall rhythm is steady, with refined curves in rounds and a slightly calligraphic feel in details like the S and the lowercase a and g. Numerals follow the same contrasty, old-style-informed shaping, staying consistent in color and spacing.
Well-suited to book and magazine typography, especially for body text at comfortable sizes and for section heads where a classic serif voice is desired. The strong contrast and crisp serifs also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and editorial branding where a traditional, cultivated tone is appropriate.
The tone is traditional and serious, with an editorial elegance that reads as established and authoritative. Its sharp serifs and high-contrast modulation add a touch of drama, giving headlines and pull quotes a composed, literary presence.
Likely intended as a conventional text serif that emphasizes classic proportions and high-contrast refinement, delivering a clean editorial texture while retaining distinctive, sharp serif details for personality in display use.
Capitals are tall and stately, and the lowercase maintains a clear, structured texture without becoming overly delicate. The design balances sharpness with enough bracketing and curvature to keep paragraphs from feeling brittle, while still projecting a distinctly formal voice.
