A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp hairlines, combining crisp wedge-like terminals with bracketed serifs. The letterforms are upright and relatively compact, with a steady vertical rhythm and clear baseline alignment. Curves show a mostly vertical stress, and joints taper quickly into fine connections, giving counters a clean, open feel at display sizes. The lowercase has a traditional, bookish structure (two-storey a and g), with a moderate x-height and distinctive, slightly sculpted terminals on characters like c, e, and s.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, book and journal titling, pull quotes, and formal invitations where contrast and refinement are desirable. It can also support premium branding and packaging when used at sizes that preserve its hairline detail and crisp serif work.
The overall tone is refined and authoritative, evoking traditional printing, literary publishing, and formal correspondence. Its contrast and crisp details lend a sense of sophistication and ceremony, while the conventional proportions keep it grounded and familiar.
The design appears intended as a conventional, literary serif that prioritizes elegance and typographic tradition, using strong contrast and carefully shaped serifs to deliver a polished, editorial voice.
At larger sizes the sharp hairlines and tapered joins read as precise and polished; in smaller settings those same details may require careful size and reproduction conditions to maintain clarity. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and thin internal strokes that harmonize with the capitals.
