A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a crisp, engraved rhythm on the page. Serifs are finely bracketed and pointed, with a slightly calligraphic modulation that shows most clearly in joins and terminals. Capitals are stately and wide-set with generous interior space, while lowercase forms keep a balanced, readable texture; the ‘a’ and ‘g’ are single-storey, and many letters finish with delicate teardrop/ball-like terminals. Numerals share the same contrast and detailing, with elegant curves and thin cross-strokes that favor display clarity over rugged small-size durability.
Well suited to magazine and newspaper-style headlines, book covers, pull quotes, and refined branding where high contrast can read at larger sizes. It can also serve as a text face in print-oriented layouts with adequate size and leading, especially where a classic, cultivated voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a formal confidence typical of editorial typography. Its sharp contrast and refined detailing add a sense of drama and sophistication, suggesting premium, curated contexts rather than utilitarian interface use.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, authoritative serif voice with heightened contrast and contemporary sharpness, balancing classical proportions with fashionable detailing for striking editorial impact.
The design leans on crisp vertical emphasis and thin connecting strokes, creating a lively sparkle in larger settings. Curved letters like C, G, O, and Q show carefully sculpted stress and tight terminals, while diagonals (V, W, X) maintain the same hairline finesse at joins.
