A high-contrast serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The capitals are broad and steady, with crisp terminals and slightly flared joins that suggest a calligraphic stress. Lowercase forms are compact and text-oriented, with a two-storey “a” and “g,” tight apertures, and firm, tapering serifs that keep edges sharp at display sizes. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast and sturdy stance, with clear, traditional proportions and strong verticals.
Well-suited for headlines, decks, and pull quotes where high contrast and sharp serifs can add sophistication. It also fits editorial settings such as magazine titling, book covers, and formal branding applications that benefit from a traditional, authoritative serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, evoking book typography and established print traditions. Its pronounced contrast and confident serifs lend an authoritative, polished voice suited to serious or prestige-oriented messaging.
The design appears intended as a conventional serif with amplified contrast and crisp wedge serifs to deliver a refined, print-classic feel while remaining legible and composed in text-like settings at larger sizes.
Spacing appears moderately tight in running text, creating a dense, rhythmic color typical of conventional text serifs pushed toward display impact. The strong hairlines and pointed serifs heighten elegance while maintaining a solid baseline presence through heavier stems.
