A high-contrast serif with a tall, compact presence and a distinctly vertical stress. Hairlines are very fine while main stems are firm, producing a crisp, engraved-like texture. Serifs are bracketed and sharply finished, with tapered terminals and pointed joins that give many letters a slightly spiky, sculpted feel. The lowercase is relatively compact with sturdy bowls and narrow apertures, while capitals are stately and tightly proportioned; numerals follow the same contrasty, old-style-influenced drawing with elegant curves and delicate joins.
Well-suited to magazine and newspaper-style typography, book titles, and other editorial settings where a refined serif voice is desired. It can also serve in premium branding and formal print pieces, especially for headlines, pull quotes, and larger sizes where the sharp hairlines and detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an editorial polish that reads as cultured and serious. Its sharp detailing and strong contrast add a touch of drama and sophistication without becoming ornamental.
Designed to deliver a conventional text-serif voice with heightened contrast and sharpened finishing, aiming for an elegant, traditional impression with a more dramatic, contemporary edge in display use.
In text, the rhythm is lively due to the strong thick–thin alternation, and the fine serifs and hairlines make the texture feel bright and precise. The design shows pronounced, pointed terminals on letters like a, c, e, and r, which contributes to its distinctive, slightly incisive character.
