A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines, weighty verticals, and smoothly bracketed serifs that flare subtly at stroke terminals. The letterforms show a traditional, humanist-informed construction with moderate proportions, a steady baseline rhythm, and clear differentiation between thick and thin strokes. Lowercase shapes are compact and readable, with a two-storey “g” and restrained, rounded joins; numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic for a cohesive text color.
Well-suited to editorial design, book interiors, and magazine layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely for headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from high-contrast elegance and a traditional typographic texture.
The overall tone feels classic and cultivated, with an editorial seriousness that suggests tradition and polish. Its sharp contrast and elegant serifs give it a refined, slightly dramatic presence suited to formal communication.
Likely designed to offer a timeless, print-forward serif voice with pronounced contrast and subtly flared terminals, balancing classic proportions with enough sharpness to stand out in modern editorial settings.
In text, the strong thick–thin modulation creates a lively shimmer, while the generous counters and clean curves keep paragraphs from feeling dense. The capitals have a stately, inscriptional poise that reads well at display sizes, and the punctuation and figures visually match the rest of the system.
