A high-contrast serif with a compact, slightly condensed stance and crisp, calligraphic modulation. Vertical stems are strong and straight while hairlines thin noticeably into sharp, pointed serifs and tapered terminals, creating a bright, engraved rhythm. Many letters show subtle forked or spurred details at joins and along stems, and the overall drawing favors narrow counters and a tidy, upright texture that stays consistent from caps to numerals.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, and pull quotes where a refined, classical texture is desired. It also works effectively for formal branding, certificates, and invitations, especially at sizes where the fine hairlines and sharp serifs can remain clear.
The tone is classic and cultivated, with a distinctly bookish, old-world polish. Its sharp serifs and lively tapers add a hint of drama and ceremony, reading as authoritative rather than casual.
The design appears intended to evoke a traditional, print-forward serif voice with elevated contrast and decorative spur details, balancing readability with a more ornate, crafted finish. Its narrow proportions and crisp terminals suggest an emphasis on elegant economy of space and a distinguished, editorial presence.
Capitals feel statuesque and slightly narrow, with pronounced contrast in rounds like C/O/Q and clean, pointed diagonals in V/W/X. Lowercase maintains a traditional serif skeleton with compact bowls and crisp terminals, and the lining figures share the same engraved contrast and formal posture.
