A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a decidedly vertical stance. Strokes move from hairline-thin connections to strong main stems, producing a bright, lively page color while keeping edges clean and controlled. Capitals are stately and slightly condensed in feel, with pointed terminals and wedge-like finishing that reads sharply at display sizes. Lowercase forms are compact and disciplined, with a tall x-height impression, tight apertures, and a traditional two-storey “g,” plus a single-storey “a” that adds a slightly contemporary twist within an otherwise classical text-seriffed framework. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with elegant curves and fine entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited to book typography, magazine layouts, and editorial systems where clarity and a classic serif tone are important. It can also perform effectively in headlines, subheads, and pull quotes, where the contrast and crisp serifs add hierarchy and sophistication.
The font conveys a composed, editorial tone—confident, traditional, and a little dramatic due to the strong contrast and crisp terminals. It feels suited to cultured, literary contexts where a classic voice is desired without becoming overly ornamental.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and a clean, contemporary finish—aiming for strong readability while providing a refined editorial presence for both running text and display hierarchy.
Spacing and rhythm appear geared toward continuous reading while still offering pronounced sparkle from hairlines in larger settings. The sharpness of joins and serifs gives headlines a precise, engraved-like snap, and the overall construction stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
