A high-contrast serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Capitals are broad and stately, with wedge-like entry/exit terminals and crisp, tapered joins. Lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with a relatively traditional rhythm; bowls are full and weighty while joins and hairlines stay fine, producing a distinctly sculpted texture. Numerals match the strong contrast and use oldstyle-like proportions and curves, keeping the overall color dense but refined.
Well-suited to headlines, magazine titling, and book-cover typography where contrast and presence are assets. It can also serve in premium branding and short editorial subheads, especially when set with generous leading to let the hairlines breathe.
The typeface reads as classic and authoritative, with an editorial, bookish tone. Its strong contrast and sharp finishing details add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, while the wide, stable shapes keep it confident and legible at display sizes.
The design appears aimed at delivering a traditional, recognizable serif structure with heightened contrast for impact. It prioritizes a refined, classical finish and strong typographic authority for editorial and display-oriented settings.
Round letters (C, G, O, Q) emphasize a smooth, calligraphic stress, and the Q has a prominent, sweeping tail. The lowercase a is double-storey, and the g is double-storey with a compact lower loop, reinforcing a conventional text-serif voice despite the dramatic contrast. Spacing appears balanced but the heavy verticals create a dark, premium texture in paragraphs.
