A high-contrast text face with strong thick–thin modulation and mostly vertical stress. Letterforms are built on clear, classical proportions with compact apertures and crisp, bracketed serifs that taper to sharp terminals. Curves are smooth and tightly controlled, while stems remain dark and steady, creating a pronounced rhythm in words. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly narrow in stance, and the lowercase shows traditional details such as a two-storey “g,” a serifed “a,” and a sturdy, readable “e,” all with a consistent, print-like finish.
This font is well suited to editorial headlines, magazine features, book jackets, and other display-oriented typography where a refined, classic impression is desired. It can also support branding and packaging that benefits from a formal, premium tone, especially in larger sizes where the high contrast and sharp terminals are most effective.
The overall tone reads editorial and traditional, with a confident, authoritative presence. It evokes book typography and newspaper display—serious, composed, and slightly dramatic due to the pronounced contrast. The texture feels refined rather than playful, giving text a considered, literary voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-forward voice with elevated contrast and crisp finishing, balancing traditional letterform cues with a clean, controlled construction for impactful display setting.
The numerals follow the same classical logic, with strong contrast and clear shapes that suit lining use in headlines and pull quotes. Spacing appears comfortable at display sizes, producing clean word silhouettes and a consistent dark–light pattern across lines.
