A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a pronounced thick–thin modulation that reads clearly in both caps and lowercase. The capitals are tall and stately with fine hairlines and strong vertical stress, while the lowercase shows classic book-face proportions with a moderate x-height and compact apertures. Curves are clean and controlled, terminals are sharp rather than rounded, and the overall rhythm feels measured and slightly condensed in texture due to the strong contrast and tight internal spaces. Numerals follow the same elegant contrast, with distinctive, sculpted forms that hold up well at display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, book and chapter titles, and premium branding where a classic, high-contrast serif voice is desired. It can also work for pull quotes and deck copy, especially when set with generous leading and careful sizing to preserve its delicate hairlines.
The typeface conveys a polished, editorial tone—confident, traditional, and slightly dramatic. Its sharp serifs and refined contrast suggest luxury and authority, lending a poised, literary character to headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-contrast serif look with a contemporary crispness—prioritizing elegance, hierarchy, and a strong editorial presence over utilitarian neutrality.
In the sample text, the contrast and hairlines become a defining feature, producing a bright, sophisticated page color at larger sizes. The design feels optimized for print-like settings where fine details can be appreciated, and it benefits from comfortable spacing to avoid crowding in dense compositions.
