A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a strongly vertical, upright stance. Strokes transition from thick stems to fine hairlines with clean, sharp joins, giving the letters a sculpted, print-like finish. Uppercase forms are stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows lively, calligraphic modulation—especially in the curved letters—without becoming ornamental. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, reading clearly with traditional proportions.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is desired, and it can also carry magazine headlines and pull quotes with authority. It works effectively for formal materials such as invitations or programs, particularly where a refined, print-forward aesthetic is important.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting careful editing and established publishing conventions. Its sharp hairlines and elegant contrast lend a refined, formal voice that feels appropriate for serious, polished communication rather than casual interface text.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, publish-ready serif with strong contrast and clear typographic manners. It aims for a balance between classic readability and a more elegant, high-finish presence for editorial and display use.
In text, the rhythm is steady and orderly, with prominent vertical stress and distinct serif cues that help word shapes lock together. The contrast and fine details give it a bright page color at larger sizes, while the crisp terminals add emphasis in display settings.
