This serif face shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, bracketed serifs and a strongly sculpted, engraved feel. Capitals are broad and stately with tapered joins and sharp terminals, while curves (C, G, O) are tightly controlled and cleanly cut. Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with a single-storey "g" and a teardrop/ball ear on "g" and "a" that adds a traditional, slightly calligraphic finish. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, with clear, old-style influence in the shaped bowls and angled terminals.
It performs best in headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other editorial display settings where contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It can also support book-cover titling and refined branding where a traditional serif voice is desired and generous spacing is available.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, formal presence that reads as traditional and authoritative. High contrast and sharp serifs give it a refined, high-impact voice suited to serious or literary contexts rather than casual messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading of classic print typography with heightened contrast for impact. Its proportions and detailing balance legibility with a polished, premium texture aimed at editorial and publishing applications.
The type has a pronounced vertical stress and a consistent rhythm across rounds and straights, creating strong word shapes at display sizes. Ball terminals and small calligraphic flicks (notably on "a", "g", and some diagonals) contribute personality without pushing into decorative territory.
