A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty verticals, set on an upright axis with a steady, bookish rhythm. Serifs are predominantly wedge-like and softly bracketed, while terminals often resolve into small balls or teardrops, giving the outlines a polished, calligraphic finish. Capitals are stately and balanced with pointed apexes (notably in A/V/W) and clean, open bowls, while lowercase forms show traditional proportions with a moderate x-height and clear ascender/descender structure. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, mixing delicate joins with sturdy stems for an engraved, print-oriented look.
Well-suited to book typography, magazines, and long-form editorial where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines and pull quotes, especially in print-like layouts where its contrast and elegant detailing can stand out.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, projecting a sense of tradition and authority without feeling overly ornamental. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted terminals suggest sophistication suited to premium, text-forward design.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that brings an engraved, literary character to contemporary publishing. It emphasizes clarity and tradition while adding a touch of finesse through sculpted terminals and finely tapered strokes.
In larger text settings the stroke contrast and small detailing (hairlines, ball terminals, and brackets) become a defining feature, creating a bright typographic color and a slightly formal presence. The design reads best when allowed enough size and spacing for its thin strokes to remain distinct.
