A high-contrast serif with sharp, finely tapered hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a crisp, slightly engraved look. Serifs are bracketed and pointed, with pronounced triangular terminals and elegant, narrow joins that emphasize the stroke modulation. Proportions lean toward a compact, high-waisted feel in the lowercase, while the capitals are stately and clean, with ample internal space. Overall rhythm is firm and vertical, with clear entry/exit strokes on letters like a, f, and r and distinctive, sculpted bowls on b, p, and g.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book interiors, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also work effectively for display roles—headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand applications—where its sharp contrast and sculpted serifs can be appreciated.
The tone is traditional and polished, evoking book typography and classic editorial design. Its strong contrast and sharp finishing details add a sense of ceremony and sophistication, making text feel deliberate and authoritative rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literature-oriented serif with heightened contrast and crisp detailing, balancing traditional letterforms with a more dramatic, cut-stone finish for strong typographic presence.
At larger sizes the hairline details and pointed serifs become a defining feature, giving headings a dramatic, chiselled presence. In dense settings, the contrast and tight apertures create a bold, dark typographic color that reads as premium and historically informed.
