A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and pronounced thick–thin modulation, giving strokes a carved, calligraphic feel. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with wedge-like terminals on several lowercase forms that add bite without becoming ornamental. Proportions feel traditional and slightly condensed in the capitals, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable rhythm with open counters and clear joins. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic, producing an elegant, text-oriented texture rather than a geometric or monoline look.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine design where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for headlines and subheads that benefit from high-contrast elegance without departing from a conventional text-serif structure.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking literary and editorial typography. Its contrast and sharp finishing details convey refinement and authority, making it feel appropriate for formal, content-forward settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a timeless, print-classic reading experience with a polished, contemporary crispness. It prioritizes typographic refinement—contrast, sharp serif finishing, and an even text rhythm—aimed at serious, content-heavy applications.
In continuous text the color is firm and confident, with strong vertical emphasis and clean spacing that keeps the high contrast from looking fragile. Distinctive wedge terminals and crisp serifs give headings extra presence while still reading like a conventional book serif.
