A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered strokes and bracketed serifs that feel finely cut rather than chunky. Curves are smooth and round with pronounced thick–thin transitions, while joins and terminals often end in sharp, wedge-like tips. Proportions lean slightly narrow in many letters, but widths vary naturally across the alphabet, creating an elegant, traditional rhythm. Numerals and capitals appear stately and clean, and the overall texture in paragraphs is dark, polished, and evenly paced.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs confidently for headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding where sharp contrast and refined detailing can be appreciated.
The tone is classic and editorial, suggesting tradition, authority, and refinement. Its sharp serifs and calligraphic modulation add a slightly dramatic, cultured voice suited to literary or institutional contexts rather than casual or playful ones.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, bookish serif with elevated contrast and finely shaped details, balancing readability with a polished, authoritative presence for editorial and literary settings.
The italic is not shown; the samples present a consistent upright roman with distinct wedge terminals on several lowercase forms and a prominent, calligraphic feel in letters like g, y, and the ampersand. At display sizes it reads sophisticated and crisp, while in longer text it produces a strong, contrasty page color.
