A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a pronounced thick–thin modulation that reads as pen-influenced rather than mechanical. The proportions are generous and horizontally expansive, with open counters and clear interior spaces that help large sizes feel airy despite the strong vertical stems. Terminals often taper to sharp points (notably in letters like a, c, e, s), while round forms (o, O, 8, 9) show a deliberate stress and elegant swelling. Uppercase forms are sturdy and classical, and the lowercase shows traditional serif construction with a two-storey a and g, giving the face a bookish, conventional texture.
This font is well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, book and chapter titles, and other display-forward settings where contrast and serif detail can be appreciated. It can also support short blocks of text or pull quotes at comfortable sizes, especially in layouts aiming for a traditional, print-centric voice.
The overall tone is refined and traditional, with an editorial gravity that suggests authority and polish. Its sharp finishing and strong contrast lend a slightly dramatic, high-end feel, while the wide set and open counters keep it from becoming overly austere. The impression is literary and formal—suited to established institutions and print-minded design.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with elevated contrast and crisp finishing, combining classical proportions with a more dramatic, fashion/editorial edge. Its wide stance and open counters suggest an emphasis on clarity and presence in display typography while maintaining familiar text-serif structure.
In the sample text, the spacing and rhythm create a smooth reading line at larger sizes, with distinctive pointed joins and tapered strokes adding character. Numerals appear robust and classical, with clear differentiation and a consistent contrast model that matches the letters.
