A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Serifs are crisp and bracketed, with fine hairlines and sharp, tapered terminals that give the outlines a sculpted, print-like finish. Capitals are stately and wide-set with strong vertical stems; round letters (C, O, Q) show elegant thinning at the joins and hairline transitions. The lowercase has a traditional, slightly compact rhythm with sturdy bowls and narrow joins; details like the ball-like terminals and the teardrop ear on g add a distinctly literary flavor. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, mixing robust stems with delicate hairlines and clear, old-style-like curvature in figures such as 2, 3, and 5.
Best suited to headlines, magazine typography, and book or editorial display where its high contrast and crisp serif detail can shine. It also works well for refined branding and invitations when set with ample size and comfortable leading.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial sophistication. Its sharp hairlines and formal serifs convey tradition and prestige, while the lively modulation adds a touch of drama suited to expressive typographic settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, literature-forward serif voice with heightened contrast for visual impact. It balances traditional proportions with sharp, modernized finishing, aiming for a premium, publication-ready look.
At larger sizes the hairlines and fine terminals read as intentional, decorative detail; in smaller settings they may require generous spacing and solid reproduction to keep the thin strokes from visually receding. The design’s rhythm favors elegant headlines and pull-quote typography where the contrast and serif detail can be appreciated.
