A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned with sharp apexes and clean terminals, while the lowercase shows a compact, text-oriented rhythm with tapered joins and a slightly calligraphic stress. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are fairly open, and the numerals share the same strong contrast with elegant, flowing bowls and clear differentiation at display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and feature headlines where high contrast can add sophistication. It also fits brand identities and packaging that want a traditional, premium feel, and works effectively for pull quotes and titling when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone feels classic and cultivated, with an editorial polish that reads as trustworthy and formal. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast add a sense of sophistication and tradition, giving text a composed, literary voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, bookish serif voice with elevated contrast and crisp finishing, bridging text utility and display elegance for editorial and brand-driven applications.
In larger settings the hairlines become a defining feature, producing a bright, elegant texture. The design balances refined details with sturdy main strokes, creating clear word shapes while still projecting a distinctly dressy, print-like character.
