A high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and stronger vertical stems, producing a bright, crisp texture on the page. Serifs are narrow and finely cut, with a generally vertical stress and clean, tapered joins that feel precise rather than calligraphic. Proportions are traditional and slightly tall in the capitals, while the lowercase shows compact counters and a relatively small x-height, giving lines a formal, spacious rhythm. Numerals and punctuation follow the same sharp, delicate construction, with thin terminals and carefully balanced curves.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, long-form reading, and classic book typography where a refined serif texture is desired. It also performs nicely for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials such as programs or invitations, especially when paired with generous spacing and comfortable leading.
The overall tone is polished and formal, evoking classic book and magazine typography. Its sharp contrast and controlled geometry read as upscale and composed, with a slightly dramatic, fashion-forward edge when set large.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif voice with pronounced contrast and careful detailing—aimed at producing an elegant page color and a sophisticated presence in both text and larger typographic settings.
At text sizes the fine hairlines create an airy color and emphasize vertical rhythm; at display sizes the small details in serifs and terminals become a prominent part of the personality. Round letters keep a smooth, disciplined curve, while diagonals and joins stay clean and restrained, reinforcing a composed, traditional voice.
