A high-contrast serif with finely tapered hairlines and strong, sculpted stems. Serifs are bracketed and sharply finished, giving strokes a crisp, engraved feel without becoming rigid. Curves show a calligraphic stress and careful modulation, while joins and terminals are clean and slightly pointed, especially in letters like V, W, and Y. The lowercase presents clear, traditional forms with a double-storey a and g, compact bowls, and a controlled rhythm that stays consistent from capitals through figures.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where contrast and traditional serif structure add authority. It also performs strongly in display roles—headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding—where its crisp serifs and sharp modulation can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The overall tone is polished and bookish, with an editorial sophistication that reads as established and trustworthy. Its sharp detailing and bright contrast add a touch of drama, suggesting luxury and ceremony while remaining conventional enough for serious text settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic reading serif with elevated contrast and meticulously finished details, balancing familiar old-style construction with a more polished, contemporary crispness for editorial and brand-forward applications.
Capitals feel stately with generous interior space and prominent vertical emphasis, while the numerals maintain the same contrast and sharp finishing, lending a cohesive typographic color across mixed content. In larger sizes, the hairline features and pointed terminals become a defining character element.
