A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stems and very thin hairlines, producing a crisp, polished rhythm. Serifs are fine and sharp, generally bracketed into the main strokes, with tapered terminals and pronounced stroke modulation throughout. Capitals feel stately and structured with generous internal space, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable x-height and clear entry/exit strokes. Curves show a classic vertical stress, and the numerals share the same dramatic contrast and delicate detailing, giving the set a cohesive, print-oriented color.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, section openers, and pull quotes where its contrast can be appreciated. It also fits book covers and premium branding applications that benefit from a classic, sophisticated serif voice, and can work in carefully set short-to-medium text when printed or sized to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is formal and cultivated, with a distinctly editorial feel that reads as premium and composed. Its dramatic contrast and hairline details add a sense of luxury and ceremony, lending gravitas to headlines and a poised, traditional voice to text.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif look with heightened contrast for a more dramatic, contemporary editorial presence. Its consistent detailing across caps, lowercase, and figures suggests a focus on polished typography for refined layouts rather than purely utilitarian body copy.
At larger sizes the fine serifs and hairlines become a defining feature, creating a bright, sparkling texture against the heavier verticals. In denser settings, the contrast and narrow joins in some letters can make the rhythm feel more lively and attention-grabbing than neutral, reinforcing its display-leaning character even in text.
