A high-contrast serif with generous horizontal proportions and crisp, tapered serifs. Strokes transition sharply from thick stems to fine hairlines, producing a bright, engraved-like texture at display sizes while remaining structured in text. Serifs are bracketed and often flare subtly into wedge-like terminals, with a consistent, traditional construction across capitals and lowercase. Curves are smooth and full, counters are open, and spacing feels moderately generous, contributing to an expansive, composed rhythm.
This design suits magazine and newspaper-style typography, book work, and other editorial settings where a classic serif voice is desired. It performs especially well for headlines, pull quotes, and titling that benefit from sharp contrast and wide proportions, and can also support longer passages where a more formal texture is appropriate.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone with a formal and authoritative presence. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted serifs lend a refined, slightly ceremonial character that feels suited to established institutions and traditional publishing.
The likely intention is to offer a conventional, heritage-leaning serif that reads as refined and authoritative, with display-ready contrast and carefully shaped serifs that evoke classical printing and engraved letterforms.
Uppercase forms present strong vertical emphasis and clean joins, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable skeleton with pronounced contrast and crisp entry/exit strokes. Numerals appear lining with similarly high contrast and firm, traditional shapes, matching the text’s dignified color.
