A high-contrast serif with vertical stress and an assertive, ink-trap-free silhouette. Strokes alternate between heavy stems and very fine hairlines, with small, sharp serifs and modest bracketing that keep joins clean at text and display sizes. Proportions are expansive and generous, with wide capitals and roomy sidebearings that create an even, stately rhythm. Round letters show pronounced thick–thin modulation, while details like ball terminals and crisp spur-like finishes add a refined, engraved feel.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book-cover titling where contrast and refinement are desirable. It can also support short passages, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a classical, authoritative serif with a pronounced typographic voice.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting credibility and a measured, formal voice. Its dramatic contrast and wide stance give it a headline-ready presence that feels literary and institutional rather than casual.
Likely designed to evoke a classic high-contrast serif tradition while scaling up confidently for display use. The wide set and crisp detailing aim to deliver impact and sophistication, balancing literary warmth with a formal, print-oriented finish.
The figures appear lining with strong contrast and clear differentiation between forms, pairing well with the uppercase’s broad proportions. The lowercase maintains a steady, readable texture while preserving the sharp contrast in curves and joins, giving paragraphs a polished, print-like color.
