A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty vertical stems, showing a distinctly vertical stress and a tight, disciplined rhythm. Serifs are sharp and bracketed, with tapered terminals and clean joins that give the letterforms a sculpted, print-like finish. Capitals are stately and wide-set, while lowercase forms keep a traditional structure with compact apertures and prominent ascenders/descenders. Numerals share the same contrast-driven construction, with strong main strokes and delicate finishing details.
Well suited to book and magazine typography, especially for headlines, pull quotes, and title treatments where the high contrast can shine. It also fits formal communications such as invitations or certificates, and brand identities aiming for a classic, premium feel.
The overall tone feels classical and formal, with an editorial seriousness that reads as traditional and authoritative. Its sharp refinement suggests a bookish, heritage voice rather than a casual or contemporary one.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, print-classic serif voice with pronounced contrast and crisp detailing, emphasizing elegance and hierarchy in text and display settings.
In the sample text, the delicate hairlines become a key part of the personality, creating a bright, sparkling texture at larger sizes while retaining a distinctly old-style elegance. The contrast and fine details also make punctuation and small counters appear more delicate compared to the dominant verticals.
