A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and firm, darker main strokes, giving letters a crisp, engraved presence. Serifs are bracketed and moderately sharp, with tapered terminals and a subtle calligraphic modulation that shows in diagonals and curves. Proportions feel traditional and balanced, with open counters and a steady rhythm in text; capitals are stately without being overly wide, and the lowercase maintains a clear, readable structure.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and literary publishing, and to editorial layouts where a traditional, high-contrast texture is desired. It also performs nicely for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding that benefits from a classic serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking traditional book typography and editorial polish. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast lend a sense of formality and authority, while the gentle curvature in joins keeps it from feeling mechanical.
Designed to deliver a conventional text-serif reading experience with elevated contrast and a polished, print-like finish. The intent appears to balance traditional proportions and legibility with a more elegant, high-end tone for editorial and literary contexts.
Round letters show a refined stress and smooth curvature, and the numerals follow the same contrast logic for a cohesive text color. In the sample paragraph the face maintains clarity at display sizes, with a slightly dramatic sparkle from the thin hairlines against heavier stems.
