This serif typeface presents tall, compact proportions with a noticeably high-contrast stroke model: thin hairlines and serifs pair with sturdier vertical stems. Serifs are sharp and finely bracketed, giving terminals a crisp, incisive finish. Curves are controlled and slightly condensed, with an overall vertical stress and a steady, even rhythm across the alphabet. Numerals follow the same contrast and narrow footprint, keeping text color relatively light while preserving strong vertical structure.
Well-suited to book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for chapter titles, pull quotes, and refined headings, especially when a compact measure and elegant contrast help define hierarchy.
The tone is classic and literary, with a refined, formal presence that reads as traditional rather than decorative. Its crisp detailing and vertical emphasis lend it an editorial, bookish seriousness suited to polished typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for composed reading and editorial presentation, balancing compact proportions with crisp detailing to achieve a traditional, polished typographic voice.
Capitals feel authoritative and stately, with narrow widths and prominent hairline cross-strokes that add sparkle at larger sizes. In continuous text, the sharp serifs and tight proportions create a composed, slightly “engraved” texture that benefits from comfortable spacing and sizes where the fine details can remain clear.
