A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines, sturdy vertical stems, and finely tapered, bracketed serifs. Letterforms show a predominantly vertical stress and a measured, traditional rhythm, with capitals that feel stately and evenly proportioned. Lowercase shapes are compact and controlled, with clean joins, narrow apertures, and a modest x-height relative to the capitals; curves transition quickly into thin exit strokes. Numerals follow the same contrast model, mixing strong main strokes with delicate horizontals and terminals for an elegant, print-like texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, features, and book interiors, especially where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly for display settings—headlines, pull quotes, title pages, and formal invitations—where its contrast and sharp finishing details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, projecting authority and sophistication. Its sharp contrast and classic construction read as literary and editorial, with a sense of ceremony that suits premium or institutional contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, high-contrast serif voice with a refined, print-forward texture. Its controlled proportions and precise serifs suggest an emphasis on elegance and authority rather than casualness or utilitarian neutrality.
In continuous text the face creates a bright/dark interplay from the extreme contrast, giving paragraphs a slightly sparkling, engraved look at larger sizes. The fine serifs and hairlines are visually prominent, so the design feels most at home where clean rendering and ample size support its delicacy.
