A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly vertical rhythm. Serifs are sharp and largely bracketed, giving strokes a decisive entry/exit while keeping joins smooth rather than blocky. Counters are relatively compact and the overall color is dense, with narrow joins and fine hairlines creating a refined, high-contrast sparkle. Capitals feel stately and stable, while the lowercase shows traditional text-proportions, including a two-storey a and g with rounded bowls and compact apertures. Figures follow the same contrast logic, mixing straight stems with curved forms that end in pointed terminals and small finishing serifs.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where contrast and crisp serifs can be appreciated. It can also support branding and book-cover titling that calls for a traditional, authoritative voice, especially in print or high-resolution digital contexts.
The tone is formal and authoritative, with a classic bookish character that reads as traditional and editorial. Its high-contrast detailing adds a sense of drama and polish, making it feel suited to established institutions and print-forward design.
The letterforms appear designed to evoke conventional, time-tested serif typography while adding extra visual impact through strong contrast and sharp finishing details. The goal seems to be a confident text-serif personality that can shift comfortably toward display use when set large.
The design emphasizes clean edges and a firm baseline, with noticeably sharp terminals on letters like C, S, and 2/3 that contribute to a slightly engraved, display-leaning presence. Round letters (O/Q/0) are full and weighty, while interior spacing stays controlled, helping the type hold together in dense settings.
