A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty main strokes, producing a crisp, engraved feel. Serifs are bracketed and cleanly cut, with pointed terminals and a slightly calligraphic modulation visible in letters like C, S, and a. Proportions are generous and horizontally open, with ample counters and a steady baseline rhythm that reads clearly at text sizes while gaining drama in display. Numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, polished structure, and the overall texture stays even despite the strong stroke contrast.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired, and it also performs strongly for headlines and pull quotes thanks to its pronounced contrast. The wide set and open counters make it a good choice for refined branding, programs, and formal printed materials where clarity and gravitas are important.
The font conveys a traditional, editorial tone with a sense of refinement and authority. Its dramatic contrast and sharp detailing add a ceremonial, bookish character that feels suited to established institutions and serious storytelling.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with elevated contrast and crisp finishing, balancing readability with a more dramatic, premium tone for editorial and identity use.
The italic is not shown; the available roman forms emphasize strong verticals and crisp diagonals, with distinctive, slightly pointed joins and terminals that keep the design lively rather than purely mechanical. Round letters maintain generous internal space, helping the darker weight distribution avoid looking clogged in dense settings.
