A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty main strokes, built around a mostly upright, vertical-stress structure. Serifs are bracketed and sharply finished, giving a clean, engraved feel without becoming slabby. Counters are moderately open and the rhythm is steady, with tall capitals and a compact, readable lowercase that keeps a traditional text tone. Numerals and capitals show strong thick–thin modulation, and several glyphs introduce subtle calligraphic terminals and small swash-like touches (notably on forms like J, Q, and g), adding personality while maintaining overall discipline.
Well-suited to book typography, magazine layouts, and editorial systems where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly in display roles—headlines, pull quotes, and premium branding—where the high contrast and sharp finishing can provide elegance and hierarchy.
The overall tone is classic and editorial—polished, authoritative, and slightly dramatic thanks to the pronounced contrast. It suggests tradition and credibility, with a refined, bookish character that reads as established rather than trendy.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with elevated contrast for a more refined, high-end impression. It aims to bridge text and display use by keeping classic proportions while adding a touch of expressive terminal work for distinction.
In running text the strong contrast creates a lively texture, especially at larger sizes where the hairlines and terminals remain visually distinct. The design balances formal proportions with a few expressive details, making it feel more bespoke than a strictly utilitarian oldstyle.
