This serif shows pronounced stroke contrast with thin hairlines and sharper, darker verticals, producing a clean, chiseled rhythm. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, with tapered terminals and controlled, calligraphic joins that keep the outlines crisp rather than soft. Proportions feel balanced and conventional, with moderate apertures and a steady baseline presence; capitals are stately and evenly spaced, while lowercase maintains a smooth reading texture. Numerals are slender and upright, matching the text color and contrast of the letters.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine settings where a refined, high-contrast serif is desired. It also works effectively for display applications such as headlines, pull quotes, and formal announcements when set with comfortable spacing and ample size.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with an editorial polish that reads as formal without becoming ornate. Its sharp contrast and fine detailing convey sophistication and a slightly literary, bookish voice.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional reading experience with heightened elegance, using high contrast and fine serifs to create a sophisticated typographic color. Its shapes aim for timelessness and clarity, balancing classical proportions with crisp detailing for contemporary editorial use.
The design relies on a strong vertical axis and careful modulation of curves, which helps long text look orderly while still feeling lively in larger sizes. Uppercase forms like Q and R add subtle personality through tapered strokes and graceful diagonals, while the lowercase keeps a restrained, traditional structure.
