A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty verticals, featuring bracketed, slightly flared terminals that give strokes a subtly sculpted finish. Capitals are tall and stately with sharp, triangular apexes and cleanly cut serifs, while the lowercase keeps a traditional text rhythm with a two-storey “a,” compact bowls, and tapered joins. Curves are smoothly modulated and the overall color on the page is lively, with thin connections and pronounced thick–thin transitions that stay consistent across letters and figures.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine work, and other long-form layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly in display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, titles, and formal materials like invitations or programs, where its contrast and sharpened detailing can be shown to advantage.
The tone is classical and editorial, projecting formality and confidence with an elegant, bookish voice. Its sharp detailing and pronounced contrast add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, suitable for contexts where tradition and authority are part of the message.
The design appears intended to reinterpret traditional serif construction with a subtly flared, calligraphic finishing, balancing familiar text proportions with more sculptural terminals. It aims to deliver a refined, authoritative reading experience while retaining enough sharpness and contrast to hold attention in display use.
The numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with clear, differentiated forms and refined terminals that align well with the text style. In larger sizes the fine hairlines and delicate serifs become a defining feature, while at text sizes the design reads as crisp and composed with a distinctly traditional cadence.
