A crisp serif with sharply tapered, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The design shows vertical stress, sturdy main stems, and finely cut hairlines that create a sculpted, high-clarity silhouette. Proportions feel moderately condensed in the capitals, while the lowercase is compact and sturdy with a relatively large x-height and tight, efficient counters. Terminals alternate between pointed wedges and rounded, ball-like finishes (notably in the lowercase), giving the face a polished, engraved rhythm. Numerals and capitals read with strong presence, aided by firm horizontals and decisive, angular joins.
Best suited to headlines, deck type, pull quotes, and editorial layouts where sharp serif detail and strong contrast can be appreciated. It can also work for book covers and branding that want a classic, premium voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes where fine hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is editorial and authoritative, combining classical bookish cues with a theatrical edge from the sharp serifs and dramatic contrast. It feels confident and traditional rather than playful, suggesting sophistication and seriousness suited to public-facing typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading voice with elevated contrast and refined detailing—aimed at impactful publishing typography that feels established, polished, and unmistakably typographic.
The punctuation and shapes in the sample text show the face holding up well at larger display sizes where contrast and serif detail are most legible. Round letters like O and C appear carefully drawn with clean transitions into hairlines, while letters with diagonals (V, W, X, Y) emphasize crisp points and tight spacing, reinforcing a compact, emphatic texture in lines of text.
