A high-contrast serif with crisp, sharply tapered hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a distinctly engraved, print-like texture. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-shaped, with pointed terminals on many diagonals and a generally sculpted, calligraphic modulation through curves. Lowercase forms show a traditional text-seriffed structure with two-storey a and g, a compact, slightly dark color at larger sizes, and clear punctuation-like dots on i/j. The numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and pronounced thick–thin transitions that match the letterforms.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interior or display settings where a classic serif voice is desired. It also fits formal branding and packaging that benefit from a refined, traditional feel, and it can deliver strong presence in titles, pull quotes, and other prominent text blocks.
The font conveys a traditional, editorial seriousness with a refined, slightly dramatic contrast that reads as classic and institutional. Its sharp details and stately proportions suggest a formal, literary tone rather than a casual or playful one.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif for editorial use while adding sophistication through pronounced contrast, sharp terminals, and traditional oldstyle figures. It aims for a classic printed-book character with enough crispness to stand out in display sizes.
Curves are drawn with tight, controlled joins, and several letters show pointed or beaked terminals that add bite to the silhouette. The overall rhythm is steady and conventional, with distinctive contrast-driven sparkle in the counters and along curved strokes.
