A high-contrast serif with a broad, generously proportioned set width and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. Strokes move from hairline-thin joins and terminals to heavy verticals, producing a strong light–dark rhythm and sharp internal counters. The uppercase feels stately and spacious, while the lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies such as a two-storey “g,” a traditional “a,” and noticeable ball terminals on forms like “c” and “f.” Curves are smooth and slightly tensioned, with a refined, print-oriented finish and clear baseline discipline.
This design suits display-driven typography such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine titles, and book-cover titling where its contrast and wide proportions can be appreciated. It can also serve for short editorial passages or formal materials when set with comfortable size and leading to preserve the hairline detail.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, formal voice that reads as bookish and established. Its pronounced contrast and wide stance add a touch of drama and ceremony, lending text a cultivated, traditional character rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
The font appears intended to deliver a traditional, print-classic serif voice with heightened contrast and spacious proportions, aiming for elegance and authority in editorial and publishing contexts. Its detailing suggests a focus on refined tone and strong typographic color rather than minimalist neutrality.
The sample text shows strong word shapes and prominent punctuation presence, with hairline details that become a defining feature at larger sizes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and thin connecting strokes that reinforce the refined, literary feel.
