A high-contrast text face with sharp transitions between thick verticals and hairline serifs, showing a distinctly bracketed serif structure. Curves carry a vertical stress and taper into fine terminals, while straight strokes stay crisp and controlled. Proportions are moderately narrow with clear, open counters; capitals are stately and evenly weighted, and the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with compact bowls and prominent ascenders. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern, with elegant curves and delicate joins that suit display and text settings alike.
Well suited to editorial design, book interiors, and typographically driven layouts where high contrast and classic serif detailing are desirable. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications, especially when generous spacing and high-quality output preserve the hairline strokes.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, evoking book typography, magazines, and formal publishing. Its sharp hairlines and poised forms feel refined and authoritative, with a slightly dramatic, editorial edge at larger sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a timeless, publication-oriented voice by combining strong vertical structure with delicate hairlines and bracketed serifs. Its controlled contrast and traditional stress suggest a focus on elegance and readability in both text and display contexts.
The face depends on thin hairlines for much of its character, so it will appear most distinctive in clean reproduction and at sizes where the contrast can remain visible. The italic is not shown in the samples; the displayed style reads as a straightforward roman with classic serif detailing.
