A high-contrast serif with crisp, sharply cut terminals and bracketed serifs that taper into pointed, slightly flared endings. Strokes show a pronounced thick–thin rhythm and a controlled, vertical stress, giving counters a clean, open feel despite the contrast. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with elegant ascenders and descenders. Details like the hooked, descending tail on Q, the angled leg of R, and the lively, slightly calligraphic turns in letters such as a, g, and y reinforce a traditional, finely cut texture in text and display.
Well-suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where contrast and refined serif detail enhance hierarchy. It also performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and premium branding applications that benefit from a classical, authoritative tone. For longer text, it will reward generous size and leading to let the sharp serifs and contrast read cleanly.
The font projects a classic, bookish sophistication with an editorial, print-forward character. Its sharp serifs and high-contrast modulation feel formal and confident, balancing elegance with a slightly dramatic bite that suits premium, heritage-leaning typography.
The design appears intended to evoke traditional, print-oriented serif typography with a contemporary crispness—prioritizing high-contrast elegance, sharp finishing, and confident presence across both display lines and reading sizes.
In paragraph setting the face builds a strong vertical rhythm and a darker, more assertive color than many oldstyle text serifs, aided by crisp terminals and tight, clean joins. Numerals appear lining and similarly high-contrast, maintaining the same sharp, engraved-like finish as the letters.
