A high-contrast serif with vertical stress and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes transition quickly from hairline connectors to sturdy main stems, giving letters a bright, engraved rhythm at text sizes. Counters are relatively open and the proportions feel traditionally text-oriented, with steady cap widths and a moderately compact lowercase. Details like the ear and terminals show controlled, slightly sharp finishing rather than soft calligraphic rounding, and the numerals echo the same strong-thin modulation for a consistent page color.
Well-suited for editorial layouts, books, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice and refined contrast are desired. It can also support formal applications such as invitations, institutional communications, and display-sized headings that benefit from a traditional, polished presence.
The overall tone is literary and authoritative, with a polished, editorial feel. Its contrast and sharp finishing lend a sense of sophistication and ceremony, making it read as traditional and well-mannered rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-first serif with elevated contrast to add elegance while retaining familiar proportions and readable forms. It aims to deliver a classic publishing tone with crisp detailing and a composed typographic rhythm.
In running text the font produces a lively sparkle from the hairlines, while the sturdier verticals maintain clarity. The uppercase reads stately and structured, and the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm that suits long-form setting when given adequate size and line spacing.
