A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered wedge-like serifs and clearly bracketed joins. Strokes transition from very thin hairlines to sturdy verticals, giving letters a crisp, engraved rhythm. Capitals are wide and stately with clean, open counters; lowercase forms keep a traditional text build with a moderate x-height, compact apertures, and a steady baseline. Numerals and punctuation match the same bright, sharp detailing, with triangular terminals and fine hairline connections that read best when given adequate size and resolution.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazine headlines, book jackets, section openers, and pull quotes—where its contrast and sharp serifs can provide hierarchy and elegance. It also works for formal branding and invitations when set with comfortable spacing and enough size to preserve the hairline detail.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, projecting authority and a bookish formality. Its crisp serifs and bright contrast add a refined, slightly dramatic feel suited to traditional publishing aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, publishable text-serif voice with elevated contrast and crisp, wedge-like finishing for added sophistication in display and editorial roles.
The design leans on pointed terminals and triangular feet (visible across many capitals and in figures), creating a distinctive, slightly chiseled silhouette. Thin horizontals and hairlines are prominent, so the texture shifts noticeably between thick stems and delicate cross-strokes, especially in dense settings.
