A high-contrast serif with compact proportions and a crisp, engraved feel. Stems are strongly vertical with hairline connecting strokes and clear, bracketed serifs that taper to sharp points. Curves show a traditional vertical stress, and the overall rhythm is tight and economical, with narrow capitals and compact lowercase that maintain a steady, text-oriented texture. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with delicate joins and small details that read cleanly at display-to-text sizes in the sample.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, book interiors, and cultural journalism where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs effectively for refined headlines and pull quotes that benefit from strong contrast and a compact footprint, especially in layouts that call for a classic, authoritative tone.
The tone is refined and literary, evoking book typography and editorial settings. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast give it a formal, cultivated voice suited to serious, polished communication rather than casual or playful uses.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-first serif with a dressy contrast profile and compact set-width, balancing classical detailing with a clean, contemporary sharpness. It aims to deliver a familiar reading rhythm while adding a more refined, high-contrast presence for editorial emphasis.
Joins and terminals are handled with fine, pointed finishing, producing a distinctly crisp silhouette. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman and steady, with a consistent contrast model across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
