A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered, bracketed serifs and a crisp, calligraphic modulation from thick stems to fine hairlines. The shapes lean on traditional roman proportions with sturdy verticals, rounded bowls, and clear, pointed terminals that keep the silhouette lively. Spacing appears moderately open in text, supporting a steady rhythm while the delicate joins and thin horizontals add sparkle at larger sizes.
Well suited to editorial typography—magazine features, book typography, and cultured brand communications—where contrast and serif detail can be appreciated. It can carry headlines with elegance and also perform in continuous reading when set with comfortable size and leading, particularly in print-oriented layouts.
The overall tone is classic and formal, with a distinctly editorial and literary feel. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast convey refinement and authority, suitable for content that wants a traditional, cultivated voice.
The design appears aimed at a conventional, book-and-editorial roman that balances readability with a refined, high-contrast presence. Its consistent modulation and sharp finishing suggest an intention to deliver a traditional, authoritative texture with enough elegance for display work.
Uppercase forms read confident and stable, while the lowercase introduces more nuanced stroke endings and a slightly more animated texture. Numerals appear lining with pronounced contrast, matching the letterforms’ crisp detailing for coherent mixed setting.
