A traditional serif with strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a pronounced vertical axis. Strokes show sharp thick–thin modulation, with hairline joins and terminals that stay crisp at display sizes. The capitals are broad and steady with compact counters, while the lowercase keeps a moderate, bookish rhythm; several letters show ball terminals and softly tapered joins that add a calligraphic finish. Figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with curving entry strokes and varied widths that blend naturally with mixed-case text.
This face works best for editorial and literary applications such as magazine titles, book covers, pull quotes, and headline typography where a strong, classic presence is desired. It can also support formal branding and printed materials like invitations or programs when set with comfortable leading to accommodate the sharp contrast.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and a literary sensibility. Its high-contrast detailing and sculpted serifs give it a refined, traditional voice suited to formal communication rather than utilitarian UI text.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a conventional book serif with heightened contrast and carefully shaped serifs for a more dramatic, display-forward impression. It balances familiar proportions with crisp hairlines and terminal details to deliver a polished, authoritative texture in both uppercase and mixed-case settings.
The texture in paragraphs is dark and confident, with tight apertures (notably in forms like e and s) contributing to a compact, print-like color. The design reads especially well at larger sizes where the hairlines and terminal shaping can be appreciated.
