This serif has a sturdy, vertical build with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered serifs that read as bracketed wedges in many joins. Curves are full and weighty (notably in O, Q, and C), while terminals and serifs sharpen to fine points, creating a strong light–dark rhythm across words. The lowercase shows a classic text-serif structure with a two-storey a and g, a compact e with a tight aperture, and a narrow, pointed w; overall spacing and proportions feel slightly condensed and firmly set, with confident, ink-trap-free joins and clear counters in most sizes.
It performs best in editorial contexts such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and book titling where the contrast and sharp serifs can carry personality. The oldstyle figures make it a natural fit for book interiors, catalogs, and packaging that benefits from a traditional, literary tone, while the dense strokes also help it hold presence in short, high-impact lines.
The tone is classic and editorial, with a formal, authoritative voice suited to established institutions and print traditions. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast add a touch of drama, making it feel serious and a bit theatrical rather than casual or friendly.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with heightened contrast and sharpened detailing to add authority and visual punch. It aims to balance classic readability cues (traditional lowercase construction and oldstyle figures) with a more dramatic, high-contrast rhythm for strong editorial emphasis.
The numerals appear in oldstyle (text) figures with noticeable ascenders/descenders and lively shapes, reinforcing a bookish, traditional feel. At display sizes the fine hairlines and pointed serifs become a prominent stylistic feature, so it reads especially bold and emphatic in headings.
