A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions and sharply finished, bracketed wedge-like serifs. The letterforms are relatively broad with sturdy vertical stems and crisp terminals, while rounds and bowls show a smooth, carved rhythm. Lowercase shapes lean traditional and readable, with compact counters in the bolder strokes and a distinctly serifed, old-style feel to the overall texture in text.
Well suited to magazine and newspaper-style typography, book jackets, and branding that benefits from a classic, high-contrast serif. It performs especially well in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short paragraphs where its contrast and serifs can add structure and emphasis. For longer text, it favors comfortable sizes and generous spacing to keep the bold strokes from darkening the page color.
This typeface projects a confident, editorial voice with a touch of drama. Its crisp contrast and refined detailing give it a classic, literary tone that can feel authoritative and slightly theatrical when set large.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience while adding punch through strong contrast and robust proportions. It aims to balance refinement (sharp serifs, clean joins) with presence, making it effective for establishing hierarchy and a confident tone.
Numerals appear sturdy and traditional, matching the strong vertical emphasis of the capitals. In the sample text, the texture is dense and commanding, with clear word shapes and a distinctly engraved, print-oriented feel.
