A high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and confident, slightly flared main strokes, showing a crisp, editorial rhythm across text. Serifs are bracketed and finely cut, with sharp terminals and a generally vertical stress that reads cleanly in both capitals and lowercase. Proportions feel traditional and balanced: capitals are stately with ample interior space, while the lowercase maintains a steady texture with clear differentiation between stems, bowls, and counters. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic, appearing sturdy yet refined for mixed text settings.
Well-suited for long-form reading such as books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and formal collateral where its contrast and sharp detailing can add refinement at larger sizes.
