A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and robust vertical stems. Serifs are bracketed and finely shaped, with pointed, slightly flared terminals that give the forms a sharp, carved finish. Capitals feel stately and compact, while the lowercase shows a traditional book face structure with a moderate x-height and open interior spaces. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall rhythm is steady, with a noticeable thick–thin swing that becomes more pronounced in round letters and numerals.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book work, and magazine layouts where a refined, high-contrast serif is desired. It can also perform strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and identity applications that benefit from a classic, formal tone and crisp detailing.
The tone is classic and authoritative, with an editorial polish that reads as established and cultured. Its sharp terminals and bright contrast add a touch of drama, making it feel more formal than casual, and more literary than utilitarian.
Likely intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and sharper detailing, balancing traditional readability with a slightly more dramatic, display-aware finish.
The design leans on traditional proportions but uses distinctive, pointed detailing in places (notably on several lowercase terminals and the tailing forms), which adds personality without breaking the conventional text-serif voice. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and look designed to hold up in display sizes where the fine strokes can read clearly.
