This serif features sharply bracketed, wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation, creating a crisp, engraved feel. Curves are taut and controlled, with narrow joins and tapered terminals that keep counters open while maintaining a dark, authoritative texture. Capitals are proportionally tall with elegant diagonals and pointed apexes, while the lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with compact shoulders and a two-storey “g”. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with fine hairlines and strong vertical stress that read as classic and carefully drawn.
Well suited to editorial design, long-form books, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve for refined headlines, cultural branding, and formal communications, especially at sizes where the high contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, projecting seriousness and editorial polish. Its sharp serifs and refined contrast suggest a literary, institutional voice—confident and formal without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-contrast reading serif with a crisp, authoritative presence, balancing familiar text conventions with a slightly sharpened, more dramatic finishing in the serifs and terminals.
In text, the strong contrast and delicate hairlines create a bright, shimmering page color; it looks best when printing or rendering preserves fine details. The letterforms lean on conventional proportions and familiar shapes, emphasizing clarity and typographic heritage over eccentricity.
