A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a steady, upright stance. Serifs are sharply defined and mostly bracketed, with crisp joins and tapered finishing strokes that give the outlines a carved, print-like feel. Capitals are wide and stately with strong vertical stems and generous internal counters; round letters show a clear vertical stress. Lowercase forms keep a conventional structure with compact apertures and firm, weighty main strokes, producing a dense, confident text color in longer lines.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazines, book interiors, and newspaper-style applications—where a classic serif voice and strong typographic presence are desired. It also works effectively for display sizes such as headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding where the dramatic contrast can be a feature rather than a liability.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, conveying seriousness and authority. Its dramatic contrast and sculpted detailing add a refined, slightly theatrical flavor that reads as established and “publisherly” rather than casual.
Designed to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with elevated contrast and crisp detailing, balancing familiar proportions with a more dramatic, print-oriented finish. The intention appears to be a versatile, authoritative serif that can cover both immersive text and prominent editorial display.
The numerals share the same engraved contrast and sturdy proportions, making them feel integrated with the text. The type shows a consistent rhythm across the alphabet, with punctuation and diagonals maintaining the same crisp, formal finish.
