A conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, bracketed wedge-like serifs. The design shows a distinctly vertical, engraved feel: stems are sturdy and straight, while joins and terminals come to sharp, sculpted points. Counters are relatively compact and the rhythm is tight, giving text a dense, authoritative color; curves (C, O, S) are clean and controlled, and diagonals (V, W, Y) end in pointed beaks. Numerals are lining-style in appearance with similarly sharp terminals and a sturdy, print-like presence.
Works best for headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and other editorial display applications where contrast and sharp detail can shine. It also suits book and magazine covers, formal branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic, authoritative serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting confidence and formality. Strong contrast and sharp terminals add a slightly dramatic, high-end feel suited to polished layouts rather than casual messaging.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional text-serif foundation with heightened contrast and sharpened detailing, bridging readability with a premium, editorial presence for both display and emphatic text settings.
At display sizes the crisp hairlines and pointed terminals read as refined and luxurious, while in smaller settings the dense spacing and compact counters may feel heavy and commanding. The lowercase shows a traditional, bookish construction with a clear two-storey a and strong, vertical forms that reinforce a disciplined texture.
