A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions and sharp, bracketed wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show a crisp, engraved feel with tapered joins and subtly calligraphic modulation, producing a lively rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Capitals are stately and open, with clean hairlines and confident vertical stress; lowercase maintains a balanced x-height with generous counters and decisive terminals. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic, reading clearly at display sizes with elegant, slightly sculpted curves.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, section openers, and pull quotes, as well as book covers and other literary-facing titling. It can also support refined brand applications—especially where a classic, premium tone is desired—provided sizes and print/screen conditions preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, projecting tradition and authority without feeling overly ornate. Its sharp serifs and refined contrast give it a composed, literary voice suited to premium, text-forward design.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif with a display-friendly edge—aiming for a timeless, authoritative reading experience while providing sharp, elegant impact in larger settings.
In paragraph settings the type shows strong vertical rhythm and clear word shapes, while the fine hairlines and pointed details suggest it will look best with adequate size and reproduction quality. The design balances classic proportions with enough crispness to feel contemporary in layouts.
