A high-contrast serif with vertical stress and crisp, finely tapered hairlines against sturdy main stems. Serifs are sharp and mostly unbracketed, producing clean terminals and a decisive, engraved rhythm. Proportions feel moderately wide with generous spacing and clear aperture shapes, while capitals present a stately, traditional build. The lowercase shows a steady, readable texture with compact joins, a two-storey “g,” and a gently cupped “j” descender; numerals are similarly contrasted and formal, with a curled “2” and a bracketless, upright “1.”
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazine layouts, book covers, and cultured branding where a refined serif voice is desired. It can also serve for display text and section headings, pairing effectively with simpler body faces in mixed-type systems.
The overall tone is polished and literary, combining old-style seriousness with a more contemporary crispness from the fine serifs and strong contrast. It reads as authoritative and composed, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif texture with a modern, crisp finish—emphasizing elegance, clarity, and typographic authority in titles and editorial settings.
In the sample text, the font maintains a consistent vertical rhythm and clean word shapes, with punctuation and the ampersand matching the sharp serif language. The contrast and hairlines are visually prominent, suggesting best results where reproduction is clean and sizes aren’t extremely small.
