A high-contrast serif with a compact, vertically oriented footprint and sharply defined hairlines against sturdy stems. Serifs are crisp and slightly wedge-like with subtle bracketing, giving terminals a carved, print-like finish rather than a soft transition. Curves are taut and controlled, counters stay relatively narrow, and the overall rhythm feels disciplined and slightly condensed. The lowercase shows a traditional, bookish construction with a single-storey g and a tall, narrow presence that keeps lines of text looking upright and orderly.
This face suits editorial typography such as magazine headings, book titles, and section openers where contrast and elegance can lead. It also works for brand marks and cultural/arts materials that benefit from a traditional, refined serif voice. For longer passages, it will read best when given enough size and spacing so the fine hairlines stay clear.
The tone is classic and literary, with an editorial seriousness that suggests traditional publishing and cultured formality. Its crisp contrast and etched details add a touch of heritage sophistication, reading as refined rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif personality with heightened contrast and crisp, sculpted terminals—aiming for an authoritative, print-forward presence in headlines and refined typographic settings.
At display sizes the thin connections and sharp terminals become a defining feature, creating a slightly engraved look. The numerals follow the same contrast and vertical emphasis, keeping figures visually consistent with capitals in headings and pull quotes.
