A high-contrast serif with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp, finely tapered serifs. Capitals are stately and slightly wide in feel, with prominent vertical stress and sharp joins that give the forms a clean, engraved look. Lowercase shows a compact, text-oriented build with sturdy stems, relatively small apertures in places, and a two-storey g with a pronounced ear, supporting a traditional book-face rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic with clear, classical proportions and brisk terminals.
This face fits well for editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is appropriate. Its contrast and crisp detailing also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and premium branding applications that benefit from a refined, traditional feel.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting authority and tradition with a touch of drama from the pronounced contrast. It feels suited to settings where elegance and seriousness are desired rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, highly refined serif voice with elevated contrast and crisp finishing, balancing a classical reading texture with enough sharpness to perform in editorial display roles.
Spacing reads even in the sample text, creating a steady horizontal color despite the strong contrast. The design relies on sharp triangular/wedge-like serif endings and subtle calligraphic inflections at some terminals, which can add sparkle at display sizes while retaining a conventional text-serif structure.
