A delicate slab serif with pronounced contrast between hairline strokes and heavier verticals, giving the letterforms a crisp, engraved-like rhythm. Serifs are squared and mostly bracketed, with short, sturdy feet and flat horizontal terminals that read cleanly at display sizes. Capitals feel tall and stately with generous counters (notably in C, O, Q), while the lowercase maintains an even, traditional construction with clear two-story forms where expected and compact joins. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and thin connections that keep the overall texture light and airy.
Best suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book covers, and refined marketing materials where high-contrast detailing is an asset. It works especially well for headlines, pull quotes, and short to medium text in spacious layouts, where its slender hairlines and crisp slabs can be appreciated.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, evoking editorial typography and classical printing rather than loud branding. Its fine hairlines and controlled geometry convey restraint and sophistication, lending a composed, formal voice to headings and short passages.
The design appears intended to merge the dependable structure of slab serifs with a more polished, high-contrast finish, aiming for a classic, bookish presence that remains clean and composed. It prioritizes elegance and typographic tradition while keeping forms straightforward and legible.
At text size the high contrast produces a bright page color with noticeable thin strokes, which can make it feel more delicate than a typical everyday slab serif. The design stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, emphasizing clarity and a measured, traditional cadence.
