A crisp, high-contrast serif with sturdy verticals and sharply tapered hairlines. Stems broaden subtly into flared, wedge-like terminals, while serifs are bracketed and sculpted rather than slabby. The proportions feel traditional and slightly condensed in the rounds, with tight interior counters and a strong baseline presence. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall rhythm is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, producing dense, dark text color at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, magazine and newspaper-style editorial typography, and book-cover titling where strong contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for posters and formal branding moments that need a classic, authoritative feel, especially in short to medium text blocks at larger sizes.
The tone is classic and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial and bookish character. Its sharp serifs and dramatic thick–thin transitions give it a confident, slightly ceremonial voice that reads as traditional and refined rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened contrast and flared, wedge-like terminals for extra punch in display settings. It balances classical letterform structure with a more sculpted finishing, aiming for strong presence and refined detail in titles and editorial layouts.
Lowercase details lean toward oldstyle influence (notably in the two-storey forms and the diagonal stress in rounded letters), while the numerals match the same high-contrast, wedge-terminal logic. The shapes maintain a polished, engraved-like crispness that helps headings look intentional and formal.
