A high-contrast serif design with crisp, tapered strokes and bracketed serifs that transition smoothly into stems. Curves are broad and rounded, while joins and terminals stay sharp and controlled, giving the letterforms a polished, print-like finish. Uppercase proportions feel stately with generous bowls and clear differentiation between straight and curved strokes; the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with tall ascenders and distinct, slightly calligraphic details in letters like a, g, and y. Numerals and capitals show clear thick–thin modulation and a steady rhythm, with spacing that reads even in continuous text.
Well-suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where contrast and crisp detailing can be appreciated. It also fits magazine and book typography, sophisticated branding, and packaging that aims for a classic, upscale voice. For longer reading, it will likely perform best with comfortable sizes and spacing that let the thin strokes remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and editorial, projecting a sense of tradition and authority. Its contrast and crisp finishing convey a premium, literary feel suited to serious or cultured messaging rather than casual or utilitarian contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast reading experience with a contemporary cleanliness. It prioritizes elegance and clarity through disciplined serif construction, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and carefully balanced proportions for strong display presence and polished editorial typography.
The italic is not shown, but the roman exhibits subtle, pen-like influence in the shaping of terminals and the liveliness of the curves. In the text sample, the strong contrast remains stable at large sizes and creates a distinctive texture with prominent vertical emphasis.
