A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a steady, upright posture. Serifs are bracketed and subtly flared, with stems that widen into confident, tapered endings, producing crisp corners and clean joins. Proportions feel balanced and traditional, with moderately wide capitals and clear, open counters; the round forms show a vertical stress and controlled curves. Numerals and lowercase maintain the same disciplined rhythm, with noticeable hairlines and a polished, print-like finish.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine design where contrast and elegance are assets. It performs especially well for headlines, pull quotes, and section openers, and can also support formal materials such as invitations or certificates when set with comfortable leading.
The overall tone is refined and classical, evoking bookish authority and an editorial, museum-catalog kind of seriousness. Its sharp hairlines and flared finishing strokes add a touch of ceremony, making the voice feel formal, composed, and slightly dramatic without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and subtly flared finishing strokes, balancing tradition with a more sculpted, emphatic stroke ending. It aims for a polished, authoritative texture that feels at home in print-forward, typographic settings.
At larger sizes the delicate hairlines and elegant bracketing become a defining feature, lending a crisp, high-end texture to paragraphs and display lines. The set reads as consistent and traditional, with confident, well-defined silhouettes that emphasize contrast and verticality.
