A crisp, high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines, weighty verticals, and finely bracketed serifs that flare into pointed terminals. Uppercase forms feel stately and open, with generous interior counters and clean, measured spacing. Lowercase shows a traditional text-serifs structure with a two-storey “a,” compact “e,” and a lively “g” that leans toward calligraphic construction; joins and curves are smoothly modulated rather than geometric. Numerals follow the same vertical stress and contrast, with elegant curves and slender cross-strokes that read cleanly at display sizes.
Well suited to magazine and editorial layouts, book and report titling, and brand wordmarks that need a classic, premium voice. The pronounced contrast and fine hairlines make it particularly effective for headlines, pull quotes, and larger-size typography where details remain clear.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, projecting tradition, authority, and a sense of luxury through dramatic contrast and precise detailing. It feels appropriate for sophisticated, print-leaning typography—confident rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif voice with elevated contrast and sharp finishing—balancing readability with a distinctly elegant, display-leaning sophistication.
Diagonal strokes (notably in K, V, W, X, and y) are relatively sharp and tensioned, while rounded letters (C, O, Q) maintain a poised, symmetrical presence. The ampersand and punctuation inherit the same thin–thick rhythm, reinforcing a consistent, refined texture across mixed-case settings.
