A high-contrast serif with vertical stress and very fine hairlines that give the letters a crisp, etched look. Serifs are small and sharp, with minimal bracketing, and transitions into stems are clean rather than soft. Capitals feel open and slightly expansive, with generous counters and a measured, bookish rhythm. Lowercase shows compact, neatly tapered joins and delicate terminals; details like the ball on the lowercase “a” and the long descending “j” add a slightly calligraphic flavor without becoming ornamental. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, mixing sturdy main strokes with slender connecting hairlines for a refined, print-like texture.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text in editorial contexts where its contrast and hairlines can be appreciated—magazine typography, book covers and chapter openers, cultural branding, and formal announcements. It can work in body text when set with comfortable size and leading, especially in high-quality print or high-resolution digital environments.
The overall tone is elegant and composed, with a distinctly editorial, old-style formality. Its sharp contrast and fine detailing suggest sophistication and tradition, leaning toward literary and institutional voices rather than casual or utilitarian ones.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with a refined, print-forward finish—balancing traditional proportions with crisp detailing for contemporary editorial use.
At display sizes the hairlines read as precise and luxurious, while at smaller sizes the thin strokes will demand sufficient resolution and spacing to avoid looking brittle. The letterforms maintain a consistent contrast model across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a unified, polished texture in mixed-case settings.
