A high-contrast serif with crisp, finely tapered hairlines and fuller main strokes, giving it a polished, print-oriented texture. Serifs are small and bracketed with pointed, calligraphic terminals that create a slightly sharp, sculpted finish. Round forms are smooth and open, while joins and corners stay clean and controlled, producing an even rhythm across text. Proportions feel traditional with moderate ascenders and descenders and a steady, upright stance.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine work where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely for refined headings, pull quotes, and title treatments that benefit from sharp detailing and contrast.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a formal, cultivated presence that reads as timeless rather than trendy. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast add a hint of sophistication and drama without becoming ornamental.
Designed to deliver a conventional text-serif reading experience with elevated refinement, using strong contrast and precise terminals to add sophistication while preserving familiar proportions and an authoritative voice.
In the sample text, the face maintains a clear baseline and consistent spacing, creating a calm page color at larger sizes while still showing pronounced contrast in curves and diagonals. Numerals share the same refined contrast and serif treatment, aligning well with the text style for mixed editorial settings.
