A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines, strong vertical stems, and sharply tapered bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a refined, print-like construction with pronounced thick–thin transitions and a mostly vertical stress in rounded shapes. Uppercase proportions feel broad and stately, while the lowercase maintains clear, conventional structures with tidy terminals and compact, controlled curves. Numerals match the text rhythm, combining sturdy main strokes with delicate finishing details for a consistent typographic color at display and larger text sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and larger-size editorial typography where the contrast and fine serifs can read cleanly. It can also support premium branding and book-cover titling that benefits from a classic, authoritative serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, leaning toward an editorial and literary character. Its dramatic contrast and sharp detailing give it a confident, high-end presence suited to sophisticated settings rather than casual or utilitarian ones.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-contrast serif for refined publishing and display work, balancing classical proportions with crisp modern finishing for a confident, upscale typographic impression.
The sample text shows strong word-shape clarity and a firm baseline, with punctuation and dots rendered as compact, emphatic marks. Curved letters (like C, G, O, and S) emphasize smooth, sculpted bowls, while angled forms (V, W, X) keep thin connecting strokes that heighten the crisp, engraved feel.
