The numerals and punctuation follow the same polished contrast, producing a clean, luminous texture at larger sizes and a decidedly formal presence.
Well suited to magazines, books, and long-form editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also support elegant display typography—such as headlines, pull quotes, and title pages—where the sharp contrast and refined serifs can be appreciated. In branding, it fits identity systems aiming for heritage, luxury, or cultured authority.
