A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered hairlines and weighty vertical stems, creating a distinctly sculpted color on the page. Serifs are bracketed and finely cut, with pointed terminals and occasional teardrop-like finishes that add a subtle calligraphic flavor. Uppercase forms feel stately and open, while the lowercase shows more dynamic modulation—especially in curved letters—balancing crisp edges with smooth, rounded bowls. Numerals match the text style with strong thick–thin transitions and clear, classical proportions.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display-to-text sizes in editorial layouts where its contrast can shine. It also fits formal printed materials such as invitations, programs, and brand applications that benefit from a traditional, high-end serif voice.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, projecting an editorial, bookish authority with a touch of luxury. Its contrast and detailing give it a refined, slightly dramatic presence suited to serious, crafted typography rather than utilitarian UI.
Likely intended as a conventional, book-rooted serif with elevated contrast and carefully shaped terminals, aiming to deliver a classic, prestigious feel while maintaining readability and a steady typographic rhythm.
The wide set and pronounced thick–thin rhythm create strong word shapes, and the slender hairlines and delicate joins are most comfortable when given adequate size and good reproduction conditions. The design reads as intentionally classical, with consistent contrast behavior across letters and figures.
