A crisp serif with pronounced stroke contrast and sculpted, slightly flared terminals that broaden into the serif endings. The letterforms show a traditional, book-style construction with moderately narrow proportions, steady vertical emphasis, and bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than slabbed. Curves are smooth and controlled, with compact counters in the rounds and a consistent, calm rhythm across text. The lowercase includes two-storey a and g, a compact e with a firm horizontal bar, and a sharp, well-defined s; figures align with the same high-contrast modulation and open, readable shapes.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif texture is desired, and it also performs strongly in headings and subheads thanks to its sharp contrast and sculpted terminals. It can support formal branding, institutional materials, and packaging that benefits from a traditional, premium feel.
The overall tone is literary and traditional, projecting a composed, authoritative voice. Its high-contrast modulation and refined finishing suggest editorial polish and a sense of established credibility rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional book serif through crisp contrast and gently flared finishing, balancing readability with a distinctive, sculpted texture. It aims to provide an authoritative, classic voice with enough character for display use without abandoning text-oriented structure.
In larger sizes the tapered joins and flared endings become a defining texture, adding a subtle engraved or inscribed quality. At text sizes the strong contrast and tight interior spaces create a dense, classic page color that suits formal typography.
