A high-contrast serif with sharp, finely tapered hairlines and fuller vertical stems, giving a crisp, engraved feel. Serifs are bracketed and neatly cut, with pointed terminals and wedge-like finishing on several strokes, producing a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Capitals feel stately and balanced with generous counters, while the lowercase combines compact joins with pronounced thick–thin transitions; the italics are not present, and the upright forms keep a disciplined, vertical posture. Numerals follow the same contrasty model, with elegant curves and delicate connecting strokes that read best when given sufficient size and spacing.
Well suited to magazine typography, book interiors, and other long-form editorial settings where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly in display roles—headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks—where the high contrast and crisp terminals can be showcased. For small sizes or low-resolution use, giving it a bit more size and comfortable leading will help preserve its delicate details.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, evoking literary and editorial contexts where authority and taste matter. Its sharp contrast and sculpted details create a sense of sophistication and ceremony rather than casual warmth.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, prestigious text serif with heightened contrast and carefully finished terminals, balancing readability with a distinctly elegant, editorial character. Its consistent modulation and controlled proportions suggest a focus on producing a refined page texture and strong headline presence.
In continuous text the tight hairlines and tapered joins create a sparkling texture, with punctuation and dots rendered as small, crisp marks. The design’s fine details and pointed terminals emphasize clarity and refinement, especially in titles and emphasized passages.
