A high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and strong vertical stress, pairing crisp, tapered joins with sturdy main stems. Serifs are finely shaped and mostly bracketed, giving the forms a carved, calligraphic edge without feeling ornate. Capitals are stately and relatively narrow, while the lowercase shows a measured rhythm with compact bowls and clear, open counters. Numerals follow the same contrast and sharpness, with distinctive old-style detailing in curves and terminals that reads cleanly at display sizes.
Well suited to editorial settings such as book interiors, long-form reading, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials like invitations or institutional communications that benefit from a refined, high-contrast look.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, projecting an editorial confidence associated with books, magazines, and formal typography. Its sharp contrast and refined finishing add a sense of luxury and seriousness rather than friendliness or casualness.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional, literary serif experience with heightened contrast and carefully finished details, aiming for clarity and elegance in both continuous text and prominent display lines.
The design balances pronounced thick–thin transitions with controlled spacing, creating a crisp text color that stays disciplined in paragraphs. Curved letters show carefully drawn modulation and pointed terminals that emphasize a precise, contemporary cut to an otherwise classic serif voice.
