A high-contrast serif with crisp, finely tapered hairlines and darker, confident main strokes. Serifs are bracketed and relatively sharp, with a traditional, slightly calligraphic modulation that gives curves and joins a polished rhythm. Capitals are stately and wide-set with clean proportions; the uppercase Q has a long, flowing tail, and the numerals show classic oldstyle-like detailing (notably the angled terminals and open forms). Lowercase forms are text-oriented with a moderate x-height, sturdy vertical stress, and clear differentiation between rounded and straight structures, producing an even, readable texture in paragraphs.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and literary publishing, where its traditional structure and steady rhythm support comfortable paragraphs. The crisp contrast also performs well in magazine typography, pull quotes, and section heads, and can lend a refined, classic voice to branding when set at larger sizes.
The overall tone is polished and literary, conveying authority without feeling heavy. Its contrast and crisp serifs suggest an editorial, fashion-leaning refinement, while the proportions and spacing keep it grounded in conventional book typography.
The design appears intended as a modern take on a conventional text serif: prioritizing readability and typographic polish while adding enough contrast and sharpness to feel current in editorial settings.
In running text the font maintains a steady color despite the contrast, with smooth curves and carefully controlled joins that avoid sparkle. The design balances sharp terminals with gentle bracketing, helping it feel both precise and familiar.
