A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and firm vertical stems, showing a decidedly text-oriented, transitional-to-modern flavor. Serifs are sharp and mostly bracketed, with tapered terminals and pronounced thick–thin modulation that creates a bright, sparkling page color at larger sizes. Proportions run on the compact side, with relatively narrow capitals and neatly contained lowercase forms; counters stay open and well-shaped despite the contrast. The overall rhythm is tidy and vertical, with precise joins and clean curves that keep the texture disciplined in paragraph settings.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, magazine features, and newspaper-style layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and section titles, especially when a refined, print-like texture and crisp contrast are part of the design intent.
The font reads as classic and editorial, evoking printed literature, newspapers, and formal publishing. Its contrast and sharp detailing lend a refined, authoritative tone, while the compact spacing and upright stance keep it composed and straightforward rather than decorative.
Designed to deliver a conventional, print-rooted serif experience with elevated contrast and sharp detailing, balancing classic readability with a more polished, fashion-forward edge for editorial hierarchy.
Capitals present an engraved, display-cap sensibility with fine internal hairlines and strong outer strokes, while the lowercase remains conventional and legible. Numerals appear lining and similarly contrasty, matching the text voice and maintaining a consistent, traditional feel across the set.
