A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered strokes and finely bracketed serifs. The letterforms show strong vertical emphasis, with thin hairlines, sharp terminals, and a controlled, slightly calligraphic modulation through curves and joins. Counters are relatively generous in many capitals and round letters, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm and conventional proportions with a moderately sized x-height. Numerals align with the same elegant contrast and tapered finishing, giving the set a cohesive, polished texture in display sizes.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where the high contrast and sharp detailing can read cleanly. It also fits editorial and literary contexts—magazine features, book covers, and premium packaging—where a classic serif voice and refined texture are desired.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, projecting an editorial, bookish confidence. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted serifs feel refined and formal, with a subtle sense of ceremony suited to premium publishing and brand-forward typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, high-end serif voice with pronounced contrast and precise finishing, balancing classical proportions with a crisp contemporary sharpness for editorial and display typography.
In text, the contrast creates a lively page color with clear vertical cadence, while the finest hairlines and small details suggest it will look best when given enough size and print/display clarity. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright, emphasizing a steady, classical presence.
