A high-contrast serif with tall proportions, vertical stress, and crisp, hairline serifs. Stems read dark and decisive while cross-strokes and connecting joins thin down noticeably, creating a bright, elegant rhythm in text. The serifs are sharp and largely unbracketed, with wedge-like and beak-like terminals appearing across caps and lowercase. Curves often resolve into subtly faceted, angular transitions, giving bowls and rounds a slightly engraved, chiseled feel. Numerals follow the same contrast and angularity, with straight-sided forms and sharp corners that keep figures clear and formal.
Performs especially well in headlines, titles, and editorial typography where contrast and sharp serif detail can be appreciated at size. It can also support brand marks, invitations, and formal collateral that benefits from a classic, authoritative voice; for longer passages, comfortable sizing and generous spacing help preserve clarity as the hairlines become more delicate.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking bookish refinement and editorial authority. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast add a slightly ceremonial, old-world seriousness that feels suited to formal communication and classic branding.
Designed to deliver a refined, classical serif voice with pronounced contrast and precise, sharp detailing. The intent appears focused on elegant display and editorial impact while maintaining a controlled, traditional structure suitable for sophisticated typography.
Capitals are stately with a measured width and prominent contrast, while the lowercase keeps a steady, readable color with distinctive angular details (notably in bowls and diagonals). The face maintains a consistent, disciplined geometry across letters and figures, favoring crisp edges over softness, which heightens the sense of precision in display settings.
