A high-contrast serif with sharp, finely tapered hairlines and fuller main stems, producing a crisp black-and-white rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and subtly flared, with wedge-like terminals that feel cut and sculpted rather than blunt. Curves are smooth and slightly egg-shaped, and the overall proportions read as balanced with a moderate x-height and clear ascenders/descenders. The numerals and capitals carry a sturdy, print-oriented presence, while the lowercase maintains an even, readable texture in text.
Works well for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also suits headlines, pull quotes, and section titles that can take advantage of the strong contrast and sculpted terminals, as well as premium-feeling packaging and brand communications that lean traditional.
The tone is traditional and editorial, with an authoritative, bookish flavor. Its contrast and sharp finishing give it a refined, slightly dramatic voice—well suited to serious, cultured contexts rather than casual or playful ones.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, print-classic serif voice with heightened contrast and crisp detailing—aiming for readability paired with a refined, authoritative presence.
At display sizes the hairline details and pointed joins become a defining feature, giving words a crisp sparkle. The design’s contrast and terminal sharpness suggest it will benefit from adequate size and spacing to keep fine strokes from visually thinning in demanding reproduction conditions.
