A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes taper to fine hairlines, with sharp terminals and a clean, vertical stance. Proportions are relatively tight with compact bowls and a measured rhythm; the lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, a sturdy vertical stress, and small, neatly finished serifs that keep text color even despite the contrast. Numerals are similarly refined, with slender joins and open counters that read clearly at display and text sizes.
Well suited to editorial layouts, long-form reading, and book-style typography where a refined serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding that benefits from a crisp, traditional tone and strong contrast.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and established editorial design. Its sharp hairlines and controlled contrast add a sense of polish and ceremony, making it feel authoritative without becoming overly ornate.
Designed to provide a conventional text serif with an elevated, high-contrast finish—balancing readability with a more polished, authoritative presence for print-like layouts and classic typography-driven design.
The shapes show careful, consistent serif treatment and disciplined curves, with slightly pointed or beaked terminals appearing in places (notably on letters like C and S) that add a subtle engraved character. The uppercase has a dignified presence suited to titling, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable cadence in continuous text.
