A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines, weighty verticals, and distinctly bracketed serifs that taper into fine points. The overall drawing is crisp and economical, with narrow joins, clean terminals, and a restrained, traditional skeleton. Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow with ample internal space, while the lowercase shows compact, well-contained bowls and clear, bookish proportions. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, pairing solid stems with delicate connecting strokes for a polished, print-oriented texture.
Well suited to magazine typography, book and journal covers, and display settings where contrast and refinement are desired. It also works for pull quotes, cultural programs, and formal announcements where a classic serif voice is appropriate and generous sizing preserves the fine details.
The tone is poised and editorial, projecting sophistication and seriousness without becoming ornate. Its contrast and precise finishing give it a premium, literary voice suited to carefully typeset content and brand-forward headlines.
Designed to deliver a conventional, literary serif appearance with elevated contrast and crisp finishing, balancing traditional proportions with a more polished, fashion/editorial sensibility. The intention appears to be a versatile “classic” text-and-display companion that reads as formal and premium in common publishing contexts.
The rhythm on a text line is defined by strong vertical emphasis and thin connecting strokes, creating a bright, airy color at larger sizes. Details like the delicate cross-strokes and fine serif tips suggest it will look best when given enough size and whitespace to let the hairlines breathe.
