A high-contrast serif with crisp, finely tapered bracketed serifs and a steady vertical stress. Strokes transition from thin hairlines to fuller stems with clean, sharp joins, giving the letterforms a polished, print-like finish. Proportions are balanced with moderate capitals, open counters, and a conventional rhythm suited to continuous reading, while the overall texture remains bright due to the thin horizontals and delicate terminals. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, with clear differentiation and a traditional lining feel in the sample.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial settings where a classic serif voice is desired, including magazines, essays, and literary work. It also fits formal materials such as programs, invitations, and institutional communications, particularly at sizes where the hairlines remain comfortably visible.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone—measured, cultured, and slightly ceremonial. Its sharp serifs and bright hairlines suggest tradition and authority, making text feel composed and intentional rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that emphasizes refinement and tradition. Its controlled proportions and sharp, bracketed serifs aim for an authoritative reading experience with a distinctly classic tone.
