A high-contrast serif with sculpted, wedge-like terminals and softly bracketed serifs. Strokes show pronounced modulation, with hairline joins and fuller verticals, producing a crisp, engraved rhythm. The letterforms are generously proportioned with ample internal counters; capitals feel stately and broad, while lowercase maintains a traditional book-face structure with a moderate x-height and lively, tapering curves. Numerals carry the same calligraphic stress and sharp finishing, giving the set a cohesive, classical texture in continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and literary publishing, especially where a classical, high-contrast serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and premium branding or packaging that benefits from a refined, traditional voice.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking established editorial and literary typography. Its sharp contrast and pointed serifs lend a refined, slightly dramatic presence that reads as formal and cultivated rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional, bookish serif that balances readability with a more dramatic, engraved contrast and sharply finished serifs. Its proportions and consistent modulation suggest a focus on creating a confident, classical typographic color for extended reading and editorial hierarchy.
Curves and bowls often finish in subtle beak-like or teardrop terminals, and several glyphs show distinct, angled entry/exit strokes that enhance an engraved feel. The texture in paragraphs is bold and patterned, with clear vertical emphasis and bright counters that help maintain clarity at display and larger text sizes.
