A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and sturdy vertical stems, showing an overall classical, bookish construction. Serifs are sharp and mostly bracketed, with tapered terminals and a controlled, slightly calligraphic modulation. Capitals are stately with generous proportions and smooth curves (notably in C, G, O, Q), while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with relatively open counters and clear apertures. Details like the two-storey g, the pointed joins in v/w/y, and the elegant diagonal leg on R reinforce a traditional text-face structure with a polished display edge at larger sizes.
Well suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from sharp detail and high-contrast elegance.
The font conveys a composed, editorial tone—confident and traditional rather than trendy. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast read as refined and authoritative, lending a sense of prestige and seriousness suited to literary and cultural contexts.
The design appears intended to modernize a conventional text serif through pronounced contrast and crisp finishing, balancing readability with a sophisticated, print-oriented presence. It aims to provide a dependable typographic voice with enough elegance for display use when set large.
In sample text, the contrast and fine serifs create a lively texture that feels luxurious at larger sizes, while the narrow hairlines suggest it will look best with adequate size and print/hi‑res rendering. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven style, with a curled 2 and a more diagonal, angled 7 that add character without breaking the overall restraint.
