A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and fuller, rounded main strokes, producing a crisp black-on-white rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and delicately flared, with pointed terminals and a generally smooth, calligraphic stroke modulation. Uppercase forms feel stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows traditional, text-oriented shaping with a double-storey a, compact e, and a g with a pronounced ear and lower loop. Numerals include oldstyle figures with noticeable ascenders/descenders, adding a bookish texture in running text.
Well suited to long-form reading and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired, including books, magazines, and essays. It also performs effectively for display settings—titles, pull quotes, and refined branding—where its contrast and crisp terminals can add polish and hierarchy.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, leaning toward editorial sophistication rather than neutrality. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted serifs convey formality and tradition, evoking the feel of established publishing and print typography.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, publication-ready serif with a refined, high-contrast finish. It aims to balance classical letterform construction with a lively page color, supporting both comfortable text setting and elegant display use.
In larger sizes the fine hairlines and pointed terminals read especially elegant and precise, while in paragraphs the strong contrast creates a lively vertical rhythm. The italic is not shown; the visible roman maintains a consistent, composed posture with clear differentiation between similar shapes (for example, I vs. J and O vs. Q).
