A high-contrast serif with a strong vertical axis, thick main strokes, and sharp hairline serifs. The serifs read as fine and crisp with minimal bracketing, giving the letterforms a clean, engraved-like edge. Proportions feel slightly expanded with generous interior space and clear counters, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and lively, traditional shapes (notably a two-storey a and g). Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with bold stems and delicate hairlines that keep the set visually consistent.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, and other display settings where the contrast and crisp serifs can be appreciated. It fits editorial design, book and magazine covers, cultural institutions, and branding that wants a traditional, high-end feel with strong typographic presence.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, with a confident, formal presence. Its sharp contrast and polished details add a sense of drama and luxury, evoking traditional publishing and classic display typography rather than utilitarian text faces.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, vertically stressed serif voice with pronounced contrast and sharp finishing, optimized for impactful display typography that still reads cleanly in short passages.
In the text sample, the heavy stems create strong word shapes while the thin serifs and joins add sparkle; at smaller sizes those hairlines may become more delicate relative to the dark strokes. Capitals are sturdy and declarative, making the face particularly assertive in title-case settings.
