A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines, weighty verticals, and finely bracketed serifs. The proportions feel classical and slightly narrow in the capitals, with smooth, round bowls and a steady baseline rhythm. Lowercase forms show a traditional text-seriffed structure, including a two-storey “g” and restrained, tapered terminals that keep counters open while preserving a crisp, polished silhouette. Numerals appear lining and set with the same dramatic thick–thin modulation, giving figures a stately, print-like presence.
Well suited to editorial typography—magazine features, book typography, and refined long-form settings where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly in display roles such as headlines, pull quotes, and premium branding, where the contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is poised and literary, balancing sophistication with a sense of historical formality. Its sparkling contrast and precise finishing give it a premium, editorial character suited to elegant communication rather than casual or rugged settings.
Likely intended as a conventional, book-and-editorial serif that emphasizes elegance through strong thick–thin contrast and disciplined, classical proportions. The design appears aimed at delivering a familiar literary tone with a polished, contemporary crispness in finish.
The design relies on delicate hairlines and fine details in joins and serifs, which read especially crisp at display sizes. Curves are clean and controlled, with an even, measured texture in continuous text that still shows a pronounced vertical stress.
