A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and confident vertical stems, showing a distinctly oldstyle rhythm in the lowercase. Serifs are fine and bracketed with subtle flaring at stroke terminals, and the joins feel smoothly tapered rather than rigid. The lowercase features a two-storey a, compact bowls, and a flowing, left-leaning tail on g, while letters like e and c show sharpened apertures that keep forms lively. Numerals appear lining and proportional, with similarly refined contrast and tapered terminals for a cohesive texture in mixed text.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine work where a refined serif texture is desirable. It also performs convincingly for display uses such as headlines, pull quotes, and formal communications where contrast and crisp detailing can be showcased.
The overall tone is polished and bookish, with a poised, cultivated voice suited to classical and editorial typography. Its sharp contrast and delicate finishing details read as premium and formal, while the oldstyle movement in the lowercase adds warmth and tradition rather than austerity.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif with elevated contrast and careful finishing, balancing readability with a sophisticated, print-oriented character. Its proportions and tapering suggest a focus on elegant text setting that can also scale up to tasteful display typography.
At larger sizes the hairlines and fine serifs create a luxurious sparkle, while the strong vertical stress keeps words stable on the line. The italics are not shown; the demonstrated style maintains an upright, measured posture with expressive shaping in curved letters and tails.
