A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that read as sharp and slightly flared rather than blocky. Curves are smooth and generously proportioned, with a notably wide overall set that gives letters ample horizontal space and a measured rhythm in text. Strokes transition from thick verticals to fine hairlines, and the joins feel controlled and clean, producing a polished, print-oriented texture. Numerals and capitals share the same sculpted contrast and tapered finishing, maintaining a consistent, authoritative color across lines.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine settings where a classic serif voice and refined contrast are desirable. The wide set and crisp serifs also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and branding applications that want a traditional, authoritative feel.
The tone is traditional and editorial, evoking book typography and established publishing rather than contemporary minimalism. Its sharp finishing and pronounced contrast add a sense of formality and seriousness, suitable for content that aims to feel credible and composed.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, publication-ready serif with an elegant, high-contrast finish and generous width, balancing legibility with a distinctive editorial character.
In running text the wide proportions and strong contrast create a distinctive, open cadence with clear letterforms and pronounced silhouettes. The design favors elegance and clarity over neutrality, making it visually present even at larger text sizes.
