A high-contrast serif with crisp bracketed serifs and tapered, calligraphic stroke endings. The capitals are broad and stately with generous interior space, while the lowercase shows rounded bowls and a steady, readable rhythm. Terminals often flare into subtle wedge shapes (notably in letters like c, e, f, r, and s), and curves transition sharply into hairlines, giving the face a distinctly engraved, display-text hybrid feel. Figures are similarly high-contrast and wide, with smooth curves and pronounced thick–thin modulation.
Well suited to editorial settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section openers, as well as book covers and titling where a classic serif voice is desired. The strong contrast and wide proportions also make it effective for posters and formal collateral like invitations or certificates when set with ample spacing.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial, evoking book typography, academic seriousness, and traditional print craft. Its strong contrast and confident serifs add a formal, slightly theatrical presence that reads as authoritative and literary rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience while adding extra visual drama through pronounced contrast, broad proportions, and flared terminals. It aims to bridge conventional text serif familiarity with a more display-forward presence for prominent typography.
Spacing appears intentionally open, helping the wide capitals and high-contrast joins stay clear in words and lines. The lowercase retains a conventional structure, but the pronounced terminals and contrast make it more distinctive than a purely neutral text face, especially at larger sizes.
