A high-contrast serif with sharply modulated strokes, hairline connecting elements, and strong vertical stress. Serifs are crisp and predominantly bracketed, with tapered terminals that create clean entry/exit points and a polished rhythm. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and slightly condensed in presence, while lowercase shows lively modulation and traditional, oldstyle proportions with a moderate x-height and distinct ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, mixing firm stems with fine hairlines for a consistent, refined texture in text.
Well-suited to book typography, magazine layouts, and other editorial settings where a traditional serif tone is desired. The strong contrast also lends itself to headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from a refined, high-end feel.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting refinement and authority without feeling ornamental. Its contrast and sharp finishing cues evoke a bookish, literary sensibility suited to cultured, formal communication.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional text-serif reading experience with elevated contrast and sharp finishing, balancing classical proportions with a cleaner, more polished edge for contemporary editorial use.
In longer text the letterforms create a bright, slightly sparkling page color due to thin horizontals and hairline joins, especially in smaller counters and tight interior curves. The design relies on precise stroke contrast and crisp serifs for clarity, giving it a composed, traditional voice rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
