A high-contrast serif with prominent thick–thin modulation and sharp, clean terminals. Serifs are bracketed and relatively fine, with a vertical, steady stance and tapered joins that give strokes a crisp, engraved feel. Capitals are narrow and stately with generous interior counters, while the lowercase maintains a traditional rhythm with compact, well-defined bowls and clear, open apertures. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, reading as elegant and text-oriented rather than geometric.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and magazine text where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also perform effectively for chapter titles, pull quotes, and elegant headlines that benefit from high contrast and a cultured, print-classic texture.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a composed, formal presence that feels at home in traditional publishing. Its sharp contrast and tidy finishing add a refined, slightly dramatic edge suitable for elevated, curated contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, publication-ready serif with a refined high-contrast look, balancing readability with an elevated, authoritative tone for long-form and editorial use.
In running text, the color stays bright and structured thanks to the slender hairlines and consistent vertical stress, while the spacing and proportions keep lines looking orderly and controlled. The design emphasizes clarity and sophistication over softness or exuberant personality.
