A high-contrast serif with sharp, finely tapered hairlines and sturdy vertical stems, producing a distinctly engraved, print-like texture. Serifs are bracketed and neatly finished, with several letters showing ball terminals and soft, calligraphic joins that keep the design from feeling mechanical. Curves are generously rounded but controlled, and counters stay fairly open despite the heavy main strokes. Uppercase proportions read traditional and steady, while the lowercase mixes compact bowls with lively terminals; the overall rhythm is confident and emphatic, especially in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium editorial passages where its contrast and detailing can be appreciated. It performs particularly well in magazine layouts, book covers, cultural posters, and formal branding that benefits from a traditional, authoritative serif voice.
The face conveys a classic, editorial authority—confident, polished, and a little dramatic. Its contrast and detailing suggest heritage and refinement, giving text a formal, literary tone that feels suited to established institutions and print-forward design.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif with added display presence—balancing familiar book typography proportions with crisp hairlines and expressive terminals to give modern editorial work a classic, elevated tone.
The numerals appear in an oldstyle style, aligning with the text-oriented character of the design while still carrying enough weight and contrast to stand out in headings. In the sample text, the strong thick–thin modulation creates a pronounced horizontal rhythm; tight settings will read dense, while modest tracking helps the hairlines and serifs stay distinct.
