A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and fuller vertical stems, creating a sharp, engraved-like color on the page. Serifs are bracketed and often slightly flared, with pointed terminals and neatly shaped joins that hint at a calligraphic broad-nib influence. Proportions run on the wider side, with generous counters and a steady, upright rhythm that stays clean in both capitals and lowercase. The overall drawing favors elegance over heft, with delicate crossbars and carefully modeled curves in rounds and diagonals.
Performs well for editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors, especially where a classic serif texture is preferred. It also suits display roles like chapter titles, pull quotes, and cultured branding moments that benefit from high-contrast refinement.
The font conveys a traditional, cultivated tone—bookish and authoritative, but with a refined edge. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted serifs add a sense of ceremony and sophistication, suited to settings where a classic voice is desired.
Designed to deliver a conventional, literary serif voice with heightened contrast and carefully modeled details. The intention appears to balance readability with a more polished, editorial elegance, giving everyday text a subtly elevated, traditional character.
In the sample text, the contrast and fine details become a defining texture: strokes feel crisp and formal, with punctuation and numerals matching the same chiseled, high-contrast logic. The ampersand and figures read as stylistically consistent with the serifed, slightly calligraphic construction.
