A high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and strong, tapered main strokes, producing a crisp, glossy texture on the page. Serifs are sharp and largely bracketed, with pointed terminals and finely cut joins that feel precise rather than soft. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are moderately open, and the overall proportions lean toward traditional book-serifs with a slightly calligraphic stress. In text, the rhythm is steady and composed, with clean spacing and clear differentiation between uppercase and lowercase forms.
Well suited to book interiors, magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts, and brand or institutional typography that benefits from a traditional serif voice. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and display settings where the high contrast and sharp serifs can read as intentional refinement.
The tone is classic and formal, with an editorial polish that reads as literary and established. The pronounced contrast and keen serifs add a sense of ceremony and sophistication, making the voice feel more elegant than utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, authoritative serif with elevated contrast and meticulous finishing, aiming for readability in text while offering a distinctly polished presence in larger sizes.
At larger sizes the hairlines and sharp terminals become a defining feature, giving headlines a carved, print-like sparkle. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven model, with slender curves and crisp finishing details that match the letters.
