A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a predominantly vertical stress. Strokes transition cleanly from hairline-thin to firmly weighted stems, giving letters a sculpted, engraved-like presence. Proportions feel traditional with moderate widths and carefully shaped curves; capitals are stately and open, while lowercase forms keep a steady rhythm with clear counters and compact joins. Numerals appear lining and well-balanced, matching the text color and contrast of the letters.

It also performs strongly for magazine features, essays, and formal communication, and can add a classic, premium tone to headlines and brand systems when set with care.
