This typeface shows crisp, high-contrast strokes with clearly modulated thick–thin transitions and mostly vertical stress. Letterforms are upright and relatively narrow in their internal apertures, producing a compact, authoritative rhythm in text. Details include sharp, wedge-like terminals on diagonals (notably in V/W/Y) and rounded, ball-like terminals on some lowercase forms (such as a, c, f, and j), giving a slightly calligraphic finish. The lowercase uses a two-storey a and a two-storey g with a prominent ear and loop, while numerals follow the same contrasty, old-style-influenced drawing with open counters and tapered ends.
It performs especially well in headlines, decks, and editorial settings where contrast and crisp finishing details can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also suits book and magazine typography, title treatments, and brand wordmarks that want a traditional, premium voice.
The overall tone reads as traditional and editorial, with a composed, bookish sophistication. Its pronounced contrast and tapered terminals evoke print typography and lend a sense of ceremony and seriousness, suitable for content that aims to feel established and trustworthy.
The design appears intended to blend classical, print-inspired elegance with clear contemporary structure: strong verticals for stability, high contrast for refinement, and distinctive terminal shaping to add personality without becoming decorative.
In the sample text, the spacing and strong verticals create a dense, headline-friendly texture, while the lively terminals and round counters keep the page color from feeling rigid. Round forms like O/Q and the bowls of b/d/p balance the sharpness of diagonals, and the ampersand appears robust and classic in flavor.
