This serif face combines strong thick–thin modulation with sharply cut, bracketed serifs and a predominantly vertical axis. Proportions are compact and economical, with relatively narrow letterforms and tight internal spacing that give lines a dense, authoritative texture. Curves terminate in fine points and tapered joins, while straight stems remain firm and clean, producing a crisp rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with elegant, slender diagonals and small finishing strokes that keep them consistent with the text color.
Well suited to book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and section openers that benefit from high-contrast elegance and compact proportions in limited space.
The overall tone is traditional and disciplined, evoking book typography and institutional print. Its high-contrast detailing and precise serifs add a sense of refinement and formality, while the compact fit lends an editorial, headline-ready seriousness.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literature-forward serif with refined contrast and a compact footprint, balancing readability with a polished, authoritative presence for contemporary editorial and print settings.
In longer passages the face creates a dark, emphatic color with pronounced sparkle from the thin hairlines, especially at larger sizes. The capitals read stately and composed, and the lowercase maintains a familiar, conventional structure suited to continuous reading.
