A sculpted serif with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and fine hairlines, giving letterforms a crisp, ink-on-paper snap. Serifs read as wedge-like and flared, often tapering into sharp points with gentle bracketing rather than blunt slabs. Round characters show tight, controlled curves and relatively small counters, while diagonals and joins stay clean and deliberate. Proportions feel traditionally bookish with steady x-height, sturdy capitals, and a clear hierarchy between heavy stems and delicate connecting strokes.
Well-suited to headlines and display sizes where the contrast and sharp serifs can carry personality without losing definition. It also fits editorial settings—magazines, book covers, and section openers—where a classic, authoritative voice is needed. For branding, it works best in wordmarks or short phrases that benefit from a traditional, premium feel.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, projecting tradition and confidence with a slightly dramatic, engraved quality. Its sharp terminals and high-contrast rhythm add a sense of ceremony and seriousness, suited to classic, institution-facing typography.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif conventions with a more sculpted, flared finish, emphasizing contrast and crisp terminals to create a strong editorial presence. It aims for a readable, traditional structure while adding drama through tapering endings and tightly controlled curves.
Numerals appear robust and old-style in spirit, with strong vertical stress and distinct shapes that match the text’s assertive color. The lowercase includes a two-storey “g” and a compact, bracketed “a,” reinforcing a conventional reading texture with a refined finish.
