A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and fuller main stems, giving the letterforms a crisp, sculpted profile. Serifs are bracketed and neatly cut, with pronounced wedges on diagonals and terminals that feel slightly calligraphic rather than purely geometric. Curves are generous and smooth, counters are open, and the overall set reads a touch wide with steady, even rhythm across words. In text, the face keeps strong vertical structure while the fine details add sparkle and definition.
Performs well for book and magazine typography, especially in display sizes and prominent text where its contrast and crisp serifs can be appreciated. It can also serve for refined branding, packaging, and editorial headlines where a classic, authoritative serif voice is desired.
The tone is traditional and editorial, with a confident, established voice suited to refined publishing. Its contrast and crisp terminals add a sense of drama and authority without becoming ornate, suggesting formality and careful craftsmanship.
Designed to provide a conventional, readable serif foundation with added elegance through contrast, bracketed serifs, and subtly calligraphic terminals. The intention appears to balance traditional text-serifs’ familiarity with a sharper, more polished surface for contemporary editorial use.
In the sample text, capital forms carry a stately presence and the numerals show clear contrast and classic proportions. Descenders and curved joins (notably in letters like g, j, y, and Q) add personality while maintaining a composed, conventional text-serif feel.
