A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty main strokes, showing a classic text-serif construction. Serifs are bracketed and sharply tapered, with pointed, triangular terminals in places and a generally sculpted, calligraphic feel to curves. Uppercase forms are broad and steady, while the lowercase keeps a traditional rhythm with round bowls, a double-storey “a,” and a compact, sturdy “e.” The figures appear oldstyle, with varying heights and extenders, reinforcing a bookish, historical texture in continuous text.
Best suited to headlines, titling, and editorial typography where high contrast and pronounced serifs can add authority and elegance. It can work well for magazine and book contexts, pull quotes, and formal announcements, especially at sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is traditional and refined, leaning toward literary and editorial sophistication rather than minimal or geometric modernism. Its strong contrast and emphatic serifs give it a confident, slightly dramatic presence suited to serious, established messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, literary serif voice with heightened contrast for impact, balancing conventional readability cues with sharper, more expressive terminals. It aims to feel established and cultivated while still providing a strong display presence.
In the text sample, the strong dark strokes create a pronounced vertical emphasis and clear word shapes at display-to-subhead sizes. Some letters feature distinctive pointed beaks and sweeping joins, adding personality while staying within a conventional serif vocabulary.
