A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered terminals and distinctly bracketed wedge serifs. Strokes shift quickly from thick verticals to fine hairlines, creating a crisp, carved rhythm and a slightly calligraphic stress. The proportions feel traditionally bookish with moderate x-height, compact counters, and a lively mix of narrow and broader letterforms; curves are clean but not sterile, with pointed joins and assertive finishing strokes. Numerals and capitals carry strong vertical emphasis and prominent serifs that hold up well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and pull quotes where its contrast and pointed serifs can read clearly. It also fits book jackets and editorial branding that benefit from a traditional, literary voice, and can add gravitas to posters or event materials when set large.
The overall tone is editorial and classical, with a dramatic, authoritative presence. It suggests literary refinement and traditional publishing, while the sharp terminals add a touch of intensity and theatricality.
Likely designed to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and sharp finishing details, balancing traditional proportions with a more dramatic, display-forward edge.
Round letters show delicate hairlines and firm vertical stems, while diagonals and joins (notably in letters like K, R, and y) introduce a slightly edgy, sculptural tension. The italic is not shown; all samples read as upright roman with consistent, formal color.
