A high-contrast serif with bracketed serifs, tapered stems, and crisp, slightly sharpened terminals. Curves show a calligraphic modulation, with strong thick–thin transitions and clean joins that keep counters open and legible. Proportions feel traditionally balanced, with moderate ascenders and descenders and a steady baseline rhythm; round letters are generously drawn, while diagonals and arms stay slender and controlled. Numerals appear lining and proportionally varied, matching the text’s contrast and serif detailing.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials such as programs or invitations, especially when set with comfortable line spacing to accommodate the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting refinement and authority without feeling overly ornamental. Its contrast and sharp detailing lend a slightly dramatic, editorial character that reads as established and traditional.
Likely intended as a conventional text serif that delivers a familiar, polished reading experience while adding a touch of high-contrast elegance for display moments. The design balances tradition with crisp detailing to remain versatile across body copy and larger typographic settings.
The design maintains a consistent serif treatment across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing an even texture at text sizes while still showing distinct high-contrast sparkle in larger settings. The lowercase includes compact, sturdy forms (notably in a, e, and n) that help preserve clarity amid the thin hairlines.
