A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and weight concentrated in the vertical strokes, producing a crisp black-and-white rhythm. Serifs are finely tapered and subtly flared, with bracketed joins that soften transitions into stems. Proportions are compact and columnar, while curves are tightly drawn and neatly terminated, giving counters a controlled, elegant shape. The overall texture is clean and even, with a poised, print-oriented sharpness across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
