A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a sharp, polished rhythm on the page. Serifs are bracketed and neatly tapered, with pointed terminals and well-defined joins that keep letterforms clean at both small and large sizes. Proportions feel on the broader side with confident spacing, while the lowercase shows a comparatively tall x-height and sturdy bowls that hold up against the thin connecting strokes. Overall texture reads dark and authoritative, with clear differentiation between thick and thin that gives lines of text a distinctly engraved, print-like presence.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine work where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs effectively for headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes, where the high-contrast strokes and crisp terminals can deliver a premium, authoritative look.
The tone is traditional and editorial, suggesting established publishing and institutional communication. Its contrast and sharp finishing details add a refined, slightly dramatic voice suited to serious, information-forward typography rather than casual branding.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and carefully finished detailing, balancing readability with a more polished, display-ready elegance for contemporary editorial use.
Numerals and capitals carry a strong vertical emphasis and a consistent contrast pattern, supporting a stable, composed typographic color. The design’s sharp hairlines and pointed details make it especially striking in larger settings, where the sculpted terminals and bracketed serifs become more apparent.
