A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered hairlines and strong vertical emphasis. Serifs are fine and sharply drawn with subtle bracketing, producing a clean, polished rhythm across text. The capitals feel stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows a traditional book-face structure with open counters and clear joins. Numerals follow the same refined contrast model, with delicate terminals and a consistent baseline presence.
Well suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and book or long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely for headings, pull quotes, and refined print pieces such as invitations or cultural programs where its sharp contrast can add sophistication.
The overall tone is refined and cultured, leaning toward a classic, bookish elegance. Its sharp contrast and precise detailing give it a premium, editorial feel that reads as formal and composed rather than casual or rustic.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif voice with elevated contrast and crisp finishing—aiming for readability with a distinctly polished, high-end texture in both display and text settings.
At larger sizes the thin hairlines and tight terminals become a defining feature, creating a sparkling texture in paragraphs. The design keeps ornament restrained, relying on contrast, serif finesse, and careful proportions for character.
