This is a high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress, thick main stems, and hairline cross-strokes. Serifs are sharply defined and mostly bracketed, with occasional beak-like shaping on forms such as C and S, giving the contours a slightly calligraphic bite. The lowercase shows a two-storey a, compact bowls, and frequent ball terminals (notably on a, c, e, f, y), producing crisp punctuation-like endings. Capitals are robust and somewhat broad in stance, with confident, wedgey terminals and clean joins that keep large sizes looking solid. Numerals appear oldstyle in construction, with varied heights and a descending 9, matching the text-centric tone of the lowercase.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and poster titling where its high contrast and crisp serifs can carry a strong hierarchy. It can also work for short-form text or lead paragraphs when set with comfortable tracking and line spacing, especially in print-oriented layouts.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial, projecting seriousness and credibility with a distinctly print-minded elegance. High contrast and sharp terminals add a refined, slightly dramatic flavor that reads as traditional rather than playful.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-rooted serif with heightened contrast and sculpted terminals to add elegance and authority while remaining familiar in structure. Its forms balance readability with display presence, aiming to feel at home in literary and editorial contexts.
At display sizes the hairlines and tight inner counters create a lively sparkle, especially in letters like S, G, and e; in dense settings this also makes spacing and line breaks feel visually prominent. The italic is not shown, and the roman’s detailing suggests it is optimized for headlines, pull quotes, and prominent text where the contrast and terminals can be appreciated.
