A high-contrast serif with a compact, narrow stance and crisp, bracketed serifs. Vertical stems are strong and straight while hairlines are fine, giving clear thick–thin modulation across both capitals and lowercase. Curves are smooth and controlled, with relatively tight apertures and a disciplined rhythm that keeps word shapes even in longer text. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant arcs and slim joins that suit mixed setting.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classic, high-contrast serif texture is desired. It can also serve effectively for headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes that benefit from a refined, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting refinement and authority rather than friendliness. Its sharp hairlines and tapered details create a composed, literary feel that reads as formal and considered.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, high-contrast serif for literary and editorial use, emphasizing elegance, clarity, and a composed reading rhythm within a narrower footprint.
Capitals appear tall and dignified with restrained, classical proportions, while the lowercase maintains a steady texture and clear differentiation between similar forms. The design favors crisp terminals and neat joins, producing a clean, print-oriented color when set in paragraphs.
