This typeface is a high-contrast serif with crisp, finely tapered serifs and a disciplined, vertical stance. Strokes move from hairline-thin to robust stems with smooth, calligraphic modulation, and terminals often finish in sharp points or small teardrop-like shapes. Proportions are balanced with moderate ascenders and descenders, and the lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, compact bowls, and tight, controlled joins that keep the texture even at text sizes. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with elegant curves and delicate thins that read as refined rather than mechanical.
It performs well in editorial settings such as book typography, long-form articles, and magazine layouts where a refined serif texture is desired. The crisp contrast and sharp terminals also make it effective for display use—chapter openers, pull quotes, and brand or publication titles—especially at larger sizes where the fine detailing can shine.
The overall tone is composed and traditional, projecting an editorial, bookish seriousness with a polished, upscale finish. Its sharp detailing and contrast lend it a cultivated, slightly dramatic presence suited to sophisticated typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literature-oriented serif voice with elevated contrast and carefully drawn detailing, balancing readability with a distinctly polished, formal character suitable for premium editorial typography.
Uppercase forms feel stately and measured, with broad curves in C/G/O balanced by narrow internal counters and fine hairlines. The sample text shows strong word-shape clarity and a consistent rhythm, with punctuation and the ampersand matching the same sharp, high-contrast detailing.
