A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a distinctly calligraphic stress. Strokes transition quickly from thick verticals to hairline joins, with sharp apexes on letters like A and V and neatly tapered arms and terminals. Round letters show bright, clean counters and a slightly drawn-in, engraved feel from the thin internal curves. The lowercase has compact, sturdy shapes with prominent serifs and occasional ball-like terminals (notably on forms such as a and f), while figures are lining-style with elegant, tapered diagonals and curved spines.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, book typography, and cultured branding where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal invitations, especially when set with generous spacing and sufficient size to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, evoking book typography and established editorial design. Its sharp contrast and refined details add a sense of ceremony and sophistication, reading as serious and authoritative rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif look with heightened contrast and crisp finishing, balancing readability with a refined, display-ready elegance.
At display sizes the hairlines and interior shaping become a defining feature, giving the face a slightly dramatic, print-classic character. The rhythm is steady and upright, with consistent serif treatment across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
