A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines, weighty verticals, and cleanly cut wedge-like terminals and serifs. The proportions feel fairly classical, with steady rhythm and restrained, upright posture; rounds are smooth and controlled while joins stay precise rather than soft. Uppercase forms present a strong, stately silhouette, and the lowercase keeps a traditional text-face structure with a single-storey “g” and compact, well-contained counters. Numerals follow the same sharp, contrasty logic, with prominent thick–thin modulation and neat finishing details.
Well suited to editorial design such as magazines, newspapers, and long-form articles where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve book typography, academic or cultural publishing, and brand systems that need an authoritative, refined tone. The strong contrast makes it especially effective for display roles—headlines, subheads, and captions—when paired with appropriate spacing and sizes.
This typeface conveys a poised, literary tone with a hint of editorial drama. The sharp contrasts and refined serif detailing give it a confident, cultivated presence that feels established rather than trendy. Overall it reads as formal, polished, and slightly theatrical in larger settings.
The design appears intended to deliver traditional book-and-editorial readability while adding a more pronounced contrast and sharper finishing for hierarchy and presence. Its controlled proportions and consistent serif treatment suggest a focus on dependable text setting, with enough sparkle in the thin strokes to elevate headlines and pull quotes.
In the samples, the type maintains a disciplined baseline and consistent stress across rounded letters, helping paragraphs look orderly despite the pronounced thick–thin modulation. The single-storey “g” and the crisp, angled terminals add a slightly contemporary edge to an otherwise conventional text-serif structure.
