A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, vertical stress, and bracketed serifs that taper to sharp, clean terminals. Capitals are broad and steady, with generous internal counters and a confident, traditional rhythm. Lowercase forms keep a moderate x-height with compact apertures and clear stroke contrast; joins and curves are smooth, and the overall texture reads dark but controlled. Figures align with the text color, showing strong contrast and classical proportions that sit comfortably alongside the letters.
Well suited to editorial typography where a strong, traditional voice is desired, especially for magazine headlines, feature decks, and pull quotes. It can also support book covers and interior titling, as well as branding that benefits from a heritage or prestige cue. In running text it will feel most comfortable at sizes and leading that allow the fine strokes to remain distinct.
The font conveys a classic, institutional tone—serious, literary, and slightly ceremonial. Its crisp contrast and stately proportions suggest tradition and credibility, with an editorial polish suited to formal communication rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for polished reading environments—balancing classical proportions with crisp modern finishing. It aims to deliver an authoritative voice and strong hierarchy, performing especially well when used to set prominent text with a refined, traditional character.
At text sizes the contrast creates a pronounced vertical emphasis and a firm typographic color. The serifs and terminals stay refined rather than blocky, giving headings a sharp, engraved-like clarity while maintaining conventional text-serif familiarity.
