A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a strongly vertical axis. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation, with sturdy main stems and hairline-like joins and arms that stay clean at display sizes. The forms are compact and upright, with relatively tight apertures in letters like C, S, and a, and a noticeable rhythm from firm verticals and tapered diagonals. Numerals and capitals feel stately and structured, with pointed inner joins and sharply finished terminals that reinforce a carved, print-oriented look.
Best suited to headlines and prominent typographic moments where contrast and serif detail can be appreciated. It works well for editorial design, book covers, and branding that aims for a classic, authoritative impression; for longer text, generous size and spacing will help maintain clarity.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and polish. Its sharp contrast and sculpted details give it a serious, traditional voice suited to formal communication while still feeling energetic in large sizes.
Designed to deliver a conventional serif voice with elevated contrast and crisp finishing, prioritizing elegance and impact in display and editorial settings. The consistent vertical emphasis and refined detailing suggest an intention to feel traditional, authoritative, and print-classic.
Counters are generally moderate and slightly enclosed in several lowercase forms, which adds density and color on the page. The lowercase shows a traditional construction with a two-storey a and g, and the punctuation and figures match the same high-contrast, sharp-edged detailing seen in the letters.
