A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines, fuller vertical stems, and crisp, bracketed serifs that taper to fine points. The capitals are stately and relatively narrow in feel, with elegant proportions and pronounced thick–thin transitions; curves are smooth and controlled, and joins stay clean rather than calligraphically soft. Lowercase forms read as traditional book serif construction, with a two-storey a and g, a moderate x-height, and clear rhythm from consistent stroke modulation. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and ascenders/descenders that harmonize with the lowercase texture.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine articles where a classic text color is desired. It also performs convincingly for chapter titles, pull quotes, and refined headings that benefit from high-contrast elegance without becoming overly ornamental.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, projecting a traditional, bookish authority. Its contrast and delicate detailing add a refined, slightly dressy character that feels at home in editorial and literary settings rather than utilitarian interfaces.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances tradition with a polished finish. Its proportions and detailing suggest an aim to deliver a familiar literary voice with enough crispness to carry both body text and display typography.
Fine serifs and hairlines create a light, sparkling texture at display sizes, while the steady spacing and conventional forms keep it readable in continuous text. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright, emphasizing a composed, formal voice.
