A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and strong, vertical main stems, producing a distinctly engraved look. Serifs are fine and bracketed, with sharp terminals and smooth, tapered transitions into joins. Proportions feel bookish and slightly condensed in many capitals, while curves (O, C, G) are broad and carefully tensioned; bowls and counters stay open despite the delicate connecting strokes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same sharp, polished logic, with thin horizontals and pronounced thick–thin modulation.
Performs well for editorial settings such as books, long-form articles, and magazines, where a classic serif voice is desired. It also suits headlines and display sizes for cultural, luxury, or institutional branding, especially when paired with generous leading and careful tracking to let the hairlines breathe.
The overall tone is refined and formal, evoking classic editorial typography and a sense of tradition. Its bright hairlines and sculpted serifs read as sophisticated and premium, suited to content that wants to feel established and thoughtfully composed.
The design appears intended as a conventional, literary serif that balances traditional forms with dramatic contrast for a polished, contemporary finish. It aims to project authority and elegance while remaining readable in paragraph settings through open shapes and disciplined detailing.
In continuous text the contrast creates a lively rhythm, with prominent verticals and very light crossbars. The design favors clarity through open counters and restrained ornamentation rather than overt flourish, but it still carries a distinctly high-style presence.
