A high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and strong vertical stems, featuring sharply bracketed serifs and tapered terminals. The letterforms show a classic, bookish construction with smooth, slightly calligraphic modulation and crisp joins. Proportions are balanced and text-oriented, with open counters and a steady rhythm; uppercase forms feel stately while lowercase maintains clear differentiation and legibility. Figures follow the same contrasty logic, with narrow hairlines and pronounced thick strokes that read cleanly at display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, long-form articles, and magazine layouts, where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and refined collateral like invitations or programs, particularly when set at sizes that preserve the thin hairlines and crisp serif detail.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, leaning toward an editorial, literary feel. Its sharp contrast and refined finishing suggest sophistication and authority rather than casualness, giving pages a composed, cultured voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional, classical serif for reading and editorial composition, combining traditional proportions with pronounced contrast for a more elevated, fashion-adjacent refinement. It aims to balance text clarity with an elegant, high-finish surface suitable for both continuous copy and prominent titling.
Stroke contrast creates a bright, delicate interior texture in longer lines, especially where hairlines cluster in diagonals and cross strokes. The design’s detailing—fine serifs, narrow joins, and tapered endings—rewards generous sizes and comfortable line spacing, where the elegance of the hairlines can remain intact.
