A high-contrast serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and a predominantly vertical stress. Stems are firm and upright while hairlines taper to fine points, giving a crisp, engraved look in curved letters like C, G, and S. Uppercase forms are dignified and moderately wide with clean, triangular serifs; the lowercase shows compact bowls and relatively tight apertures, keeping texture even in paragraph settings. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with clear serifs and strong thick–thin modulation that reads well at display sizes.
It performs naturally in editorial typography such as magazines, journals, and book interiors where a classic serif texture is desired. The strong contrast and crisp serifs also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding applications such as cultural institutions, law, or luxury packaging.
The font conveys a traditional, editorial tone—measured, confident, and slightly dramatic due to the pronounced contrast. It feels suited to established institutions and literary contexts, balancing refinement with authority rather than friendliness or informality.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, high-contrast serif voice that feels established and polished, offering a classic reading texture while remaining striking enough for display use. Its controlled detailing suggests an aim for dependable, professional typography across both titles and continuous text.
Curves terminate in neatly controlled points and occasional ball-like terminals (notably in forms like a), and the overall rhythm is steady with minimal calligraphic flourish. The design leans toward clarity and structure, with narrow internal spaces in several lowercase letters that can heighten sophistication while increasing density in small sizes.
