A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and strongly weighted vertical stems, producing a bright, sharp page color. Serifs are bracketed and cleanly cut, with wedge-like terminals appearing in places (notably on V/W/Y and some lowercase joins), while curves show vertical stress and tight, controlled shaping. Proportions lean slightly condensed in the capitals, with compact counters and a stately rhythm; the lowercase keeps a steady, traditional build with moderate ascenders/descenders and clearly differentiated forms. Numerals follow the same dramatic contrast, giving figures a bold presence in text and headings.
Well suited to magazine headlines, editorial typography, book covers, and elegant branding where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also work for short-form reading text in print or high-resolution digital contexts, especially when given comfortable size and leading to let the hairlines and sharp serifs breathe.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, with a classic, bookish authority and a slightly dramatic, high-fashion edge from the pronounced thick–thin transitions. It reads as refined and traditional rather than casual, suited to content that benefits from prestige and seriousness.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, classical serif impression with heightened contrast for extra polish and presence. It prioritizes refined typography and strong hierarchy—capable in text, but especially effective when used to add sophistication and emphasis in display settings.
In continuous text the strong contrast and sharp serifs create a distinctive texture that feels most comfortable at larger sizes or in well-spaced settings. The design’s crisp joins and narrow internal spaces can look dense when tightly set, but they add impact and clarity in headlines, pull quotes, and structured typographic layouts.
