A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered serifs and clear bracketing, combining crisp hairlines with fuller vertical stems. The letterforms show classical proportions and a steady, upright axis, with rounded bowls and clean, open counters. Uppercase characters feel stately and slightly wide, while lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and a rhythmic, book-text cadence. Terminals are finely finished—often pointed or subtly flared—and the figures follow the same contrast pattern with elegant curves and thin joins.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine settings where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials such as invitations or certificates, especially when paired with ample leading and clean margins.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a distinctly editorial polish. Its crisp contrast and traditional serif detailing suggest formality and confidence without becoming ornate. The texture on the page reads as cultured and composed, suited to serious or prestige-oriented typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that delivers classic elegance and strong typographic hierarchy. Its details aim to balance readability with a polished, print-oriented presence for editorial and literary contexts.
In text, the strong contrast produces a lively light–dark rhythm that favors comfortable reading at typical print sizes, while very small sizes may require enough point size to keep hairlines from appearing delicate. The capitals have a dignified presence for headings, and the numerals feel well-integrated for running text and references.
