A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline serifs that read as lightly bracketed. The capitals are broad and stately with generous horizontal spread, while the lowercase maintains a steady, moderate x-height and open counters. Curves show a slightly calligraphic stress, with sharp, tapered terminals and finely cut joins that create a polished, engraved color on the page. Numerals follow the same contrasty, old-style-influenced rhythm, keeping the overall texture elegant rather than heavy.
Best suited for headlines, deck type, pull quotes, and other editorial or publishing contexts where a refined serif voice is desired. It can also work for book covers and formal printed pieces where elegance and contrast are part of the intended impression.
The tone is classic and cultivated, evoking bookish refinement and editorial authority. Its sharp contrast and wide stance feel ceremonial and confident, giving text a composed, high-end presence suited to traditional typography.
This design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-contrast reading and display experience with a premium, print-oriented feel. The wide proportions and finely drawn serifs suggest a focus on sophisticated typographic color and a classic literary aesthetic.
At display sizes the hairlines and delicate serifs become a defining feature, producing a bright, sparkling texture in longer lines. The wide capitals and strong contrast make headings feel expansive, while the lowercase remains readable but visually ornate compared with more utilitarian text faces.
