A refined serif with pronounced stroke contrast, a clear vertical axis, and crisp, finely tapered hairlines. Serifs are sharp and delicate, generally unbracketed, giving edges a clean, engraved feel. Capitals are stately and open, with ample interior space; curves are smooth and controlled, and terminals often end in thin, pointed finishes. Lowercase forms keep a traditional rhythm with a moderate x-height, compact apertures, and a distinctly calligraphic modulation—most noticeable in letters like a, e, g, and y. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with slender joins and prominent thick-to-thin transitions.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, journals, and book work where a classic, high-contrast serif texture is desired. It also performs convincingly in display roles—section openers, pull quotes, and refined branding—where its sharp serifs and elegant modulation can be appreciated.
The overall tone is literary and cultivated, projecting restraint, precision, and a sense of tradition. Its sharp hairlines and polished contrast read as upscale and editorial, with an air of formality suited to classic publishing contexts.
The design appears intended to evoke a traditional, print-centric elegance: a high-contrast serif optimized for a polished page color and a distinctly classical, authoritative voice in both text and display settings.
At text sizes, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs create a bright, shimmering texture, while larger sizes emphasize the dramatic contrast and sculpted curves. Spacing appears comfortably open in the sample, supporting a measured, composed rhythm.
