A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a strong vertical stress. The design pairs hairline connecting strokes with weighty main stems, creating a pronounced thick–thin rhythm and a polished, sculpted silhouette. Capitals are dignified and relatively narrow with sharp apexes and finely tapered terminals, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and compact, controlled forms. Counters are clean and open, and the numerals follow the same refined contrast, with a mix of straight and gently curved strokes that reads clearly at display sizes.
Well-suited to magazines, book covers, and editorial layouts where a refined serif voice is desired. It performs particularly well for headlines, pull quotes, and elegant branding applications that benefit from high contrast and sharp detail, and it can also serve as a text face in comfortable reading contexts when size and reproduction allow the hairlines to hold.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, with a classic, bookish authority. Its sharp contrast and neat finishing details convey sophistication and restraint, lending a premium, traditional feel rather than a casual or rustic one.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, high-contrast serif look with a timeless, print-oriented character—prioritizing elegance, clarity of rhythm, and a confident typographic voice for publishing and premium communication.
The letterforms show a consistent calligraphic logic across rounds and diagonals, with smooth curve transitions and delicate hairlines that can appear especially fine in small sizes or low-resolution contexts. Spacing looks balanced for text, while the dramatic contrast gives it extra presence in headlines.
