A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty vertical stems, showing a distinctly “modern” stress pattern and a clean, upright posture. Serifs are finely cut and mostly bracketed, with sharp, tapered terminals that keep the texture bright at text sizes. Capitals feel statuesque and slightly narrow in stance, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with compact joins and clear counters. Numerals and punctuation follow the same disciplined contrast, producing a polished, print-oriented color.
Well-suited to book typography and editorial layouts where high contrast and a crisp serif texture are desirable. It can also serve confidently in display roles—chapter titles, pull quotes, and formal headlines—especially in print or high-resolution settings where hairlines remain clear.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with an editorial seriousness that reads as traditional and authoritative. Its sharp contrast and neatly cut serifs add a sense of refinement and ceremony, suitable for content that aims to feel established and trustworthy.
This looks designed to deliver a conventional, highly polished reading experience with an elevated, contemporary-classic flavor. The strong contrast and carefully shaped serifs suggest an intention to echo established text faces while adding a sharper, more refined edge for modern editorial use.
The design emphasizes verticality and a clean baseline, with thin horizontals and delicate internal strokes that create a refined sparkle in longer passages. Curves are smooth and controlled rather than soft, and the overall spacing appears measured for continuous reading.
