A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and stronger vertical stems, showing a measured, bookish rhythm across text. Serifs are fine and largely bracketed, with sharp terminals and clean joins that keep the outlines crisp at display sizes. The capitals feel stately and open, with generous internal counters (notably in C, O, and Q) and controlled curves. Lowercase forms are compact and orderly, with a two-storey a and g and a relatively narrow, vertical emphasis that supports continuous reading.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and essays, and to magazine or newspaper-style editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials such as invitations and programs, particularly at sizes where the hairlines can remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, evoking classic editorial typography and academic seriousness. Its delicate hairlines and poised proportions create an elegant, slightly ceremonial feel that reads as premium and composed rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif voice with elevated contrast and carefully finished detailing, balancing readability with an elegant, authoritative presence for editorial and print-centric typography.
In the sample text, the contrast and fine details become prominent, especially in diagonals and curved joins, giving the face a sophisticated sparkle. Numerals appear lining and proportionally aligned with the capitals, maintaining a consistent, formal texture in mixed text.
