A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and sharply tapered hairlines. Serifs are pronounced and largely wedge-like with noticeable bracketing, giving joins a carved, sculptural feel. Counters tend to be compact and the rhythm is driven by sturdy uprights and firm terminals; curves are clean and controlled, with a classic vertical stress. Lowercase shows a conventional text-seriffed structure with sturdy bowls and a relatively moderate x-height, while the overall spacing reads generous enough for display sizes without feeling loose.
Best suited to headlines and large-size typography where the contrast and sharp details can read clearly. It works well for magazine mastheads, book-cover titling, cultural or institutional branding, and posters that benefit from a classic, authoritative serif voice.
The tone is formal and editorial, projecting authority and tradition. Its crisp contrast and assertive serifs lend a refined, high-end character suited to literary or institutional voice, with a touch of dramatic flair in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, text-serif foundation optimized for impactful display, combining classic proportions with heightened contrast and assertive wedge serifs to create a premium editorial feel.
The numerals and capitals carry a dignified, engraved-like presence, with particularly strong weight concentration on the main stems. The ampersand and punctuation match the same sculpted contrast and sharp finishing, helping long lines of display text keep a consistent, confident texture.
