A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and thicker main strokes, featuring bracketed, tapered serifs and a generally vertical, steady axis. The capitals are stately and open, with smooth curves and sharp joins that keep counters clean at display sizes. Lowercase forms show a traditional text-serif rhythm with a two-storey a and g, compact terminals, and narrow joins that emphasize the stroke contrast. Numerals follow the same refined logic, with delicate curves and clear differentiation between figures.
Well suited to editorial applications such as magazine typography, feature headlines, and book-cover titling where contrast and elegance can be showcased. It can also support short passages or pull quotes when set with comfortable size and leading, and it fits formal printed materials like programs or invitations.
The overall tone feels literary and editorial, combining formality with a calm, polished refinement. Its crisp contrast and tapered detailing suggest a classic, cultivated voice suited to sophisticated, text-forward design.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif that delivers a classic reading texture while also performing strongly in display settings. Its proportions and tapered serif treatment prioritize a refined, traditional impression over geometric or utilitarian neutrality.
In the sample text, the face reads confidently at larger sizes, where the hairlines and bracketed serifs create a bright, sparkling texture. The design’s detailing rewards ample spacing and good reproduction, as the thinnest strokes and small terminals are a defining part of its character.
