A crisp, high-contrast serif with bracketed serifs and a traditional, vertical-stress structure. Stems are firm and upright while hairlines are notably fine, producing a refined sparkle in text. Serifs are moderately sized with smooth bracketing and slightly tapered ends, and curves show careful modulation with clean joins. Capitals feel stately and balanced, while lowercase forms are compact and controlled, with open counters and clear interior shapes that hold up in paragraph settings. Numerals appear lining and proportioned to sit comfortably alongside the capitals, with strong contrast and elegant curves.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where high contrast and refined serifs contribute to a premium feel. It also performs nicely for headlines, pull quotes, and formal print materials that benefit from a traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a composed, authoritative presence. It reads as literary and traditional rather than trendy, projecting polish and seriousness suitable for established brands and formal communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances elegance with practicality, delivering a familiar book-typographic color while retaining enough contrast and sharp detailing to feel elevated in display sizes.
In the text sample the rhythm is even, with pronounced thick–thin transitions giving a bright texture on white. Details like the sharp beaks and tapered terminals add a subtle calligraphic flavor without becoming ornate, and the italic is not shown, reinforcing a straightforward, upright text personality.
