A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and crisp, finely tapered hairlines. Serifs are narrow and sharp with minimal bracketing, giving strokes a clean, engraved feel. Uppercase proportions are fairly classical with strong verticals and compact crossbars, while the lowercase shows a traditional book-face structure with a double-storey “a” and “g” and a delicate, slightly irregular rhythm from the contrast and tapering. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with thin joins and heavier main strokes that create a bright/dark pattern in text.
Well-suited to editorial design, book typography, and classic headline settings where its contrast and sharp serifs can provide sophistication and hierarchy. It can also support formal materials such as invitations or certificates, particularly at larger sizes where the fine details remain clear.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, leaning toward an editorial, bookish voice rather than a casual or utilitarian one. Its sharp serifs and bright hairlines convey formality and precision, with a subtle old-world elegance.
This design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with an engraved, print-tradition character. The emphasis on vertical stress, narrow hairlines, and crisp serif construction suggests a focus on elegance and typographic authority in publishing-oriented contexts.
In longer lines, the hairlines and tight internal joins become a defining feature, producing a lively sparkle at display and a more delicate texture as sizes decrease. The letterforms maintain a consistent contrast system across cases, and the punctuation and curved strokes read as clean and controlled rather than soft or rounded.
