A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. Curves show a clear vertical stress, while terminals and joins stay sharp and controlled, giving the outlines a clean, engraved-like finish. Proportions lean broad in the caps with generous internal space, and the lowercase keeps a traditional rhythm with sturdy stems and open counters. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, reading as old-style influenced forms with varied widths and strong baseline presence.
Well-suited to book typography, magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts, and formal collateral where a classical serif presence is desired. It excels in display and titling, and can also serve body copy in well-printed or higher-resolution contexts where the delicate hairlines remain intact.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a distinctly bookish, editorial voice. Its sharp serifs and dramatic contrast convey sophistication and formality, suggesting heritage and seriousness rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif voice with heightened contrast for elegance and emphasis. It balances classical letterform structure with a crisp, high-definition finish to support refined editorial and formal branding applications.
In text, the strong verticals and fine hairlines create a lively sparkle, especially at larger sizes. The design’s crispness and broad proportions make headlines feel monumental, while the consistent serif logic keeps long passages orderly and composed.
