A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a distinctly calligraphic modulation. Curves transition smoothly into hairline terminals, while vertical strokes carry most of the weight, producing a bright, elegant color in text. The capitals are proportioned with ample interior space and restrained flourishes, and the lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies (notably in the two-storey a and g) with open counters and clean joins. Figures appear lining, with strong contrast and sharp, tapered details that match the text rhythm.
Well-suited to book interiors, long-form editorial typography, and magazine layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal communications that benefit from high-contrast elegance.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with an editorial polish that reads as established and trustworthy. Its sharp hairlines and refined serif finishing add a sense of formality and sophistication, evoking bookish, institutional, and classic print contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, literary serif that balances readability with a polished, high-contrast finish. Its aim seems to be delivering a classic text experience with enough sharpness and grace to carry display moments within editorial systems.
The letterforms maintain a steady baseline and consistent serif logic across caps and lowercase, giving paragraphs a stable texture despite the pronounced stroke contrast. Pointed joins and narrow hairlines suggest it will look best when given sufficient size and printing or screen conditions that can preserve fine details.
