A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and sharply defined, bracketed serifs. Strokes move from very thick stems to fine hairlines, with crisp joins and a steady, print-like rhythm. Capitals are tall and commanding with compact interior counters, while lowercase forms show traditional proportions and clear differentiation between round and straight elements. Figures are lining and sturdy, with pronounced thick–thin modulation and clear, old-style detailing in curves and terminals.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and prominent editorial typography where its contrast and strong serif structure can be appreciated. It can also support book-cover titling and formal invitations or announcements, particularly when set with generous spacing and ample size.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and tradition. Its sharp contrast and confident capitals give it a formal, institutional feel, while the structured lowercase keeps it grounded in conventional reading typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif with an elevated, publication-ready voice—balancing traditional letterforms with a bold, attention-holding presence for titles and editorial hierarchy.
At larger sizes the hairlines and delicate serifs read as refined and precise, emphasizing a polished, engraved-like character. The ampersand and the ‘Q’ tail add a slightly decorative, historical flavor without pushing into display eccentricity.
