A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are bracketed and sharp-ended, with a distinctly vertical stress and a tight, controlled rhythm through stems and curves. Proportions lean slightly condensed in many capitals, while counters stay open and well-shaped, giving the face a poised, engraved-like clarity. The lowercase shows compact joins and tidy terminals, with a sturdy baseline presence and a consistent, disciplined texture in text settings.
Well-suited to headlines, deck text, and pull quotes where strong contrast and sharp serif detail can shine. It also fits editorial branding, magazine typography, and book-cover titling, and can work for formal invitations or certificates when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, conveying tradition, authority, and a polished literary voice. Its sharp finishing and strong contrast add a sense of sophistication and seriousness suitable for refined publishing contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-contrast serif voice with a refined, print-oriented presence. Its controlled proportions and sharp detailing suggest an emphasis on elegance and authority for display and editorial use.
In the sample text, the font maintains a dense, even color at larger sizes, with clear word shapes and strong vertical emphasis. Numerals share the same contrast and serif detailing, reading as classical lining figures with crisp top and bottom anchors.
