A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered strokes and bracketed serifs that end in sharp, wedge-like terminals. The capitals feel stately and evenly proportioned, with clear vertical emphasis and smooth curves that stay controlled rather than calligraphic. Lowercase forms are compact with a short x-height and relatively sturdy stems, giving the text a slightly vertical rhythm; details like the two-storey “g” and the angled, pointed foot of “j” add a traditional, engraved flavor. Numerals match the text color and contrast, with refined curves and pointed finishing strokes that keep the set visually consistent.
Well suited to editorial design, long-form reading, and book typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely for display settings such as chapter titles, pull quotes, and magazine headings, and can lend a formal tone to programs, certificates, and invitation-style layouts.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, evoking traditional book typography and institutions that value formality. Its sharp finishing strokes and strong contrast read as polished and authoritative, with a slightly dramatic, old-style elegance rather than a casual or contemporary feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literature-oriented serif with heightened contrast and crisp terminals—balancing readability with a refined, traditional personality for both text and display use.
In running text the tight lowercase proportions and pronounced contrast create a lively, sparkling texture, especially at larger sizes. The angular terminals and pointed joins give individual letters a defined presence, making it particularly effective when set with generous leading and careful spacing.
