A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a strongly vertical, engraved-like construction. Strokes move from sturdy stems to very fine hairlines, producing sharp joins and bright counters. Proportions are compact with relatively tight set widths, and the overall rhythm is controlled and even, with slightly calligraphic modulation in curves and diagonals. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with narrow forms and delicate finishing details.
Well suited to long-form reading in print contexts such as books, essays, and magazine layouts where a refined serif texture is desired. It can also serve effectively for headings, pull quotes, and formal collateral when set with sufficient size and leading to preserve the fine details.
The font reads as classical and literary, with a formal, bookish tone and a polished editorial presence. Its sharp contrast and clean serifs suggest tradition and seriousness, while the narrow proportions add a composed, economical feel.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a more refined, high-contrast flavor—aiming for elegant readability and a traditional typographic voice in editorial settings.
In text, the thin horizontals and hairline serifs become a defining texture, creating a lively sparkle on white backgrounds. The design favors clarity through strong verticals and open internal shapes, while keeping a distinctly elegant, old-style sensibility.
