A high-contrast serif with a broad set width and crisp, sharply finished serifs. Stems are strong and vertical while hairlines run very thin, creating an energetic thick–thin rhythm, especially visible in the curves and cross-strokes. The letterforms feel traditional and bookish, with bracketed serifs, pronounced terminals, and a sturdy baseline presence; round letters show teardrop-like joins and the lowercase includes a two-storey “g” and compact bowls that hold up well in text. Numerals and capitals read as stately and open, with ample internal counters and a slightly formal, display-leaning finish.
Well-suited to magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts, book jackets, and headline typography where contrast and elegance are desirable. It can also serve brand identities that want a traditional, premium feel, and works effectively for pull quotes and section headers where the wide stance helps fill space with fewer characters.
The font conveys an editorial, literary tone with a sense of authority and polish. Its pronounced contrast and refined serifs suggest heritage printing and high-end publishing, giving text a composed, confident voice rather than a casual one.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice with elevated contrast for emphasis and sophistication, bridging readable text behavior with a more display-forward sharpness. It prioritizes a refined, authoritative presence and a crisp printed look in continuous copy and prominent headings.
In the sample paragraph, the contrast and wide proportions make word shapes feel spacious and emphatic, producing a strong typographic color. The pointed terminals and thin hairlines add sparkle at larger sizes, while the consistent vertical stress keeps the texture orderly across lines.
