A high-contrast serif with a sturdy, dark color and clearly bracketed wedge-like serifs. Strokes transition quickly from thick verticals to fine hairlines, with crisp terminals and a slightly compact, vertical posture. Uppercase forms feel stately and stable, while the lowercase shows traditional text proportions with open counters and clear differentiation between similarly shaped letters. Numerals share the same sharp, tapered finishing and maintain an even, readable rhythm alongside letters.
It suits book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, and it also performs well for magazine headings and pull quotes that benefit from strong contrast. The sturdy presence makes it appropriate for institutional or heritage-leaning branding, as well as formal invitations and titles.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting authority and refinement. Its strong contrast and sharp finishing add a slightly dramatic, headline-ready edge while still reading as grounded and conventional.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional, literary serif feel with heightened contrast and confident weight, aiming for clear readability paired with an elevated, editorial character.
The design’s weight distribution emphasizes vertical stems and firm entry/exit strokes, creating a decisive texture in paragraphs. Spacing appears balanced for text, and the crisp serifs help maintain line structure at larger sizes where detail becomes more apparent.
