A high-contrast serif with a relatively narrow set and crisp, tapered terminals. Strokes show a strong thick–thin rhythm with braced, flared transitions where stems meet serifs, giving the letters a subtly calligraphic construction rather than purely mechanical slabs. Serifs are sharp and well defined, and curves are smooth and slightly tensioned, producing a clean, controlled texture in text. Capitals feel stately and vertical, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable rhythm with compact counters and clear joins.
Well suited to editorial typography—magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly in display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications where its contrast and sharp terminals can add authority and elegance.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with an editorial seriousness that reads as cultured and authoritative. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast add a touch of sophistication and ceremony, suitable for content that aims to feel established and carefully set.
Likely designed to provide a contemporary take on a traditional high-contrast serif, balancing refined detail with a disciplined, upright structure. The flared joins and tapered finishing suggest an intent to evoke calligraphic heritage while remaining practical for composed text and dignified display work.
In the samples, the spacing and proportions create a tight, elegant page color, and the high contrast becomes more pronounced at larger sizes where hairlines and tapered details stand out. Numerals and capitals share the same formal, engraved-like crispness, reinforcing a consistent, classical voice across mixed settings.
