A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a distinctly calligraphic stress. Serifs are bracketed and finely pointed, with crisp terminals and deep counters that stay open despite the strong contrast. The lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, compact joins, and a relatively even x-height, while capitals feel stately and slightly wide with strong vertical emphasis. Overall rhythm is measured and traditional, with pronounced thick–thin transitions that create a polished, engraved-like texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and long-form reading where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and formal announcements, where the dramatic contrast and sharp serifs create a refined typographic presence.
The font conveys a classic, editorial voice—confident, serious, and traditional. Its refined contrast and sharp detailing read as cultured and authoritative, lending a slightly dramatic, high-end tone without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-oriented serif that balances readability with a distinctly elegant contrast profile. Its shapes aim for a timeless literary feel, offering a composed text color with enough sharp detail to support prominent editorial display.
Figures appear lining with clear, old-style influence in their proportions, featuring strong contrast and sturdy verticals that help them hold up in display sizes. At smaller sizes, the thin hairlines and sharp serifs may become more delicate, so it visually favors comfortable text sizes and larger settings where the detailing can remain crisp.
