This is a high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a pronounced thick–thin modulation across both roman capitals and lowercase. The letterforms feel broad and stable, with generous horizontal proportions, a steady upright stance, and sharp, clean terminals. Counters are relatively open, while joins and curves show a slightly calligraphic shaping—especially in rounded letters—giving the texture a refined, engraved quality rather than a purely geometric one. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with bold verticals and fine hairline curves that create a strong typographic sparkle at larger sizes.
It suits editorial typography such as magazine features, book and essay layouts, and formal communications where a traditional serif voice is desired. The strong contrast and broad proportions also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand identities, particularly when used at display sizes where the hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is classical and editorial: confident, bookish, and somewhat ceremonial. Its sharp contrast and sculpted serifs project authority and sophistication, suggesting traditional publishing and premium branding rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, high-contrast reading serif with a polished, print-oriented feel—balancing classical proportions with crisp detailing to provide both strong headline presence and an elegant text texture.
In text, the contrast produces a lively rhythm and a distinct “sparkle,” with hairlines becoming a notable part of the texture. The capitals read especially assertive and display-ready, while the lowercase maintains a clear, traditional serif structure suited to longer passages when set with adequate size and spacing.
