A high-contrast serif with sturdy vertical stems and noticeably finer hairlines, producing a crisp, etched rhythm in text. Serifs are bracketed and decisive, with sharp entry points and occasional wedge-like finishes that add bite without becoming slabby. Curves are round and full, with compact joins and teardrop/ball-like terminals in places, giving counters a sculpted, slightly calligraphic feel. Capitals read broad and stable, while lowercase forms keep a traditional structure with a moderate x-height and clear differentiation between letters and figures.
Well-suited to headlines, deck copy, and editorial typography where a classic serif voice with strong contrast can carry hierarchy. It can also work for book jackets, magazine branding, and premium packaging where a traditional, authoritative presence is desired.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, leaning toward a bookish, editorial seriousness. Its strong contrast and pronounced serifs add a sense of ceremony and impact, making it feel formal and slightly dramatic rather than casual.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional text serif through heightened contrast and crisp detailing, delivering strong hierarchy and a polished, old-style editorial color while remaining recognizable and readable.
The numerals and capitals feel particularly weighty, lending extra emphasis in headings and pull quotes. In continuous text, the sharp serifs and contrast create a lively texture that benefits from comfortable sizes and solid spacing.
