A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and assertive vertical stems, creating a crisp, engraved rhythm. Serifs are sharp and slightly bracketed, with wedge-like terminals that add a subtle calligraphic bite. Counters are relatively compact and the overall proportions read lean, while capitals feel tall and disciplined. In text, the face maintains an elegant, slightly tense texture where the thin strokes and pointed details stay prominent, especially in letters with diagonals and in the numerals’ tight curves.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and refined long-form reading where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs convincingly for display applications—headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks—where its sharp serifs and contrast can read as premium and authoritative.
The tone is polished and traditional, with a distinctly editorial and literary flavor. Its sharp terminals and pronounced contrast lend a sense of seriousness and formality, suited to sophisticated, culture-forward presentation rather than casual messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif voice with elevated sharpness and contrast, balancing readability with a more sculpted, fashion/editorial edge. Its controlled proportions and consistent contrast suggest a focus on structured typographic color and a confident, traditional presence.
Several glyphs show pronounced, pointed joins and tapered terminals (notably in forms like Q, R, y, and z), which strengthens the “cut” look at larger sizes. The numerals echo the same contrast and tapering, giving figures a refined, fashion-leaning presence when set alongside text.
