This typeface is a high-contrast serif with finely tapered hairlines, strong vertical stress, and neatly bracketed serifs. Capitals are elegant and slightly narrow with sharp apexes (notably in A and V) and crisp, controlled terminals. The lowercase shows a balanced text rhythm with moderate extenders, rounded bowls, and a two-storey a and g; details like the ear and spur shapes are delicately cut, giving the face a polished, print-like texture. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with open counters and slender joins that keep the overall color light on the page.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired, and it also performs well for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section titles that benefit from sharp contrast and refined detailing. It can be paired with a neutral sans for captions and UI while retaining a traditional typographic hierarchy in print and PDF settings.
The overall tone is poised and traditional, projecting a cultured, editorial feel associated with book typography and established publishing. Its sharp, clean finishing and restrained curves read as formal and confident rather than rustic or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif voice with a contemporary cleanliness—prioritizing refined contrast, disciplined proportions, and a steady reading rhythm suitable for editorial and book composition.
At text sizes the contrast creates a bright page color, while the consistent serif treatment and controlled curves keep long lines orderly. In larger sizes, the thin hairlines and crisp serifs become prominent design features, lending an engraved, premium character to headings and pull quotes.
