A crisp, high-contrast text face with predominantly vertical stress and clear thick–thin modulation across curves and diagonals. Letterforms are upright and relatively compact with tight apertures, smooth bowl transitions, and small, controlled terminals that read as subtly flared rather than blunt. The capitals feel stately and structured, while the lowercase shows compact joins and sturdy stems; counters are generally open enough to stay legible at display sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern, with rounded forms and firm verticals that keep the set visually consistent.
Well suited to headlines and subheads where its contrast and structured forms can shine, and it can also support editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book sections when used with comfortable sizing and leading. Its composed, traditional character also fits branding applications that call for a measured, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is editorial and classic, projecting authority and polish without feeling overly ornate. It carries a bookish, traditional voice suited to serious content, with a refined rhythm that reads confident and composed.
The design appears intended to bring classic, print-like sophistication into modern layouts through high-contrast strokes, controlled terminals, and a steady upright rhythm. It aims for clarity and elegance rather than overt decoration, making it adaptable across editorial and identity contexts.
In the text sample, the high contrast becomes more pronounced at larger sizes, giving headlines a crisp, engraved-like snap. Spacing appears balanced and even, supporting continuous reading while still delivering a strong typographic presence in short lines and titles.
