A high-contrast serif with strongly vertical stress and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes alternate between stout stems and very fine hairlines, creating a bright, engraved rhythm in text. Proportions are compact with relatively narrow letterforms and a steady cap height; counters are tight and the joins feel clean and deliberate. Terminals are refined and often tapered, with occasional ball-like finishing details in the lowercase that add a slightly ornamental flavor without becoming decorative.
Well suited to headlines, magazine typography, book covers, and other editorial display where contrast and refinement are assets. It can also work for premium branding and packaging when set with generous spacing and appropriate size to preserve the hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a dramatic elegance that reads as editorial and literary. Its sharp contrast and compact stance give it a confident, headline-ready presence while still feeling rooted in traditional book typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast for impact—balancing traditional proportions with a sharpened, contemporary crispness for modern editorial use.
In continuous text the thin horizontals and hairlines become a defining feature, producing a crisp sparkle at larger sizes. The numerals and capitals carry a strong vertical emphasis, and the lowercase includes a few distinctive, characterful terminals that can add personality in display settings.
