This typeface uses classic, high-contrast strokes with a clear vertical axis and sharply defined joins. Capitals are tall and stately with narrow apertures and crisp, bracketed detailing; curves are smooth and controlled, while horizontals stay comparatively thin. Lowercase features a traditional two-storey “a,” compact bowls, and firm vertical stems, creating a steady, bookish rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same contrast and proportion system, with elegant curves and fine hairline sections that read best when given adequate size and spacing.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book or long-form reading, and magazine typography where a refined high-contrast texture is desirable. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that need a classic, authoritative feel.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with a formal, editorial voice. Its sharp contrasts and composed proportions suggest tradition and seriousness, while the clean drawing keeps it from feeling overly ornate or nostalgic.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary, high-contrast reading face with classical proportions—prioritizing crisp detail, disciplined structure, and an elegant page color that scales from text to display.
The design’s thin hairlines and pointed terminals create a bright, sparkling texture in display settings, while the denser lowercase and sturdy stems help maintain clarity in continuous reading. Wide curves (notably in round letters) balance the more vertical, column-like letters, producing a composed but energetic page color.
