A high-contrast serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a distinctly calligraphic stress. Strokes transition from very thick verticals to fine hairlines, producing sharp joins and crisp counters at display sizes. Capitals are tall and stately with generous top serifs and strong vertical emphasis, while the lowercase is compact with rounded bowls and firm, structured terminals. Numerals follow the same rhythm, mixing sturdy stems with delicate finishing strokes for a traditional, print-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines and large-size typography where the strong contrast and bracketed serifs can be appreciated—magazine headings, book covers and titles, pull quotes, and refined packaging. It can also work for short blocks of text in editorial contexts when set with comfortable spacing and adequate size.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, old-style seriousness that reads as literary and institutional. Its sharp contrast and pronounced serifs create a formal, authoritative voice suited to traditional publishing and heritage branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, print-classical serif voice with elevated contrast for impact, combining traditional proportions with crisp detailing for editorial and display use.
In the sample text, the thick–thin modulation creates a pronounced vertical rhythm and bright highlights along hairlines, which can add elegance but also increases sensitivity to size and reproduction conditions. The forms keep a conventional, familiar structure, prioritizing clarity and tradition over novelty.
