This typeface presents a compact serif construction with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, wedge-like serifs. Strokes taper into pointed terminals and angled cuts, giving many letters a slightly faceted, chiseled feel rather than purely rounded book forms. Capitals are tall and stately with narrow proportions and firm vertical stress, while lowercase maintains a steady, readable rhythm with tight sidebearings and clear counters. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with distinctive angular joins and confident, slightly ornamental shaping that remains consistent across the set.
Well-suited for editorial layouts, book typography, and formal reading environments where a classic serif texture is desired. The compact proportions and assertive contrast also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from a traditional, slightly engraved flavor. It can add refinement to packaging and titling when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a formal, authoritative presence. Its sharp serifs and high-contrast strokes add a mildly historic, engraved character, suggesting editorial seriousness and classic publishing sensibilities rather than a casual or contemporary voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with added sharpness and personality through wedge serifs and faceted terminals. It balances readability with a more distinctive, historic-leaning finish to stand out in editorial and display settings.
The design leans on strong verticals and deliberate angular detailing—especially visible in diagonals and curved letters—creating a crisp texture in lines of text. The sample paragraph shows an even color for a high-contrast serif, with distinct word shapes and a slightly dramatic silhouette in capitals and key letters.
