A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show a vertical stress and a stately rhythm, with sharp joins and tapered terminals that create a clean, engraved feel. Uppercase proportions are strong and slightly condensed in presence, while the lowercase is compact with rounded bowls and sturdy stems; numerals are similarly high-contrast and neatly proportioned for text use. Overall spacing feels even and measured, supporting clear word shapes while maintaining a distinctly formal texture.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine work where a refined, traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and branding applications that benefit from a confident, classic tone and a high-contrast silhouette.
The tone is polished and traditional, projecting authority and sophistication. Its sharp contrast and controlled detailing evoke book typography and editorial design, giving text a composed, slightly dramatic presence without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances classical proportions with a crisp, contemporary finish. Its consistent modulation and disciplined serif treatment suggest an aim for authoritative readability with an elevated, editorial character.
In display sizes the contrast and sharp serifs read especially crisp, while in longer passages the strong verticals and tight internal shapes create a dark, confident color. The uppercase has a classical, inscriptional poise, and the lowercase maintains a sturdy, no-nonsense cadence that favors clarity over softness.
