A high-contrast serif with a pronounced thick–thin rhythm and sharp, tapered terminals. Serifs are clearly bracketed and crisply cut, giving the shapes a sculpted, print-oriented feel. Proportions run on the wider side, with generous counters and clear interior space that keeps dense text from feeling cramped. The lowercase shows traditional construction (two-storey a and g) with a moderate x-height and lively curves, while caps are stately and evenly weighted across the alphabet.
This design suits editorial settings such as books and magazines, especially for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its contrast and crisp serifs can add emphasis. It can also support formal branding and packaging that benefits from a traditional, high-end serif voice, and it remains legible in larger blocks of text when given comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a sense of tradition and authority. Its sharp contrast and refined finishing convey formality and a slightly dramatic, bookish elegance suited to established, heritage-leaning typography.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with heightened contrast and refined finishing, aiming for an elegant, authoritative reading experience and strong typographic presence in editorial layouts.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and pronounced serifs create a confident horizontal flow, while rounded letters (o, e, c) stay open and readable. Numerals appear text-friendly and stylistically consistent with the letters, matching the same crisp terminals and contrast-driven rhythm.
