A high-contrast serif with strongly bracketed serifs and a crisp, editorial rhythm. Curves are full and slightly calligraphic, with tapered joins and occasional ball-like terminals in the lowercase. The proportions feel traditional and text-oriented, with moderate apertures and sturdy verticals balanced by fine hairlines, giving letters a polished, slightly historic texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where contrast and serif detailing can be appreciated at comfortable reading sizes. It also performs nicely for magazine heads, pull quotes, and formal invitations or programs where a classic voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional printing and formal typography. It feels refined and authoritative rather than playful, with a mild decorative flair coming from its terminal shapes and contrast.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, print-centric serif color with elevated contrast and tasteful, slightly decorative terminals, balancing readability with a refined, old-style sensibility.
Uppercase forms read stately and stable, while the lowercase introduces more character through softer curves and terminal detailing. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif logic, appearing suited to text settings rather than strictly utilitarian UI figures.
