A refined serif with sharply tapered hairlines and sturdy verticals, creating a distinctly high-contrast, engraved-like texture on the page. Serifs are bracketed and neatly finished, with pointed terminals and crisp joins that keep counters open despite the contrast. The uppercase shows classic proportions with confident diagonals and a sculpted ‘Q’ tail, while the lowercase balances a moderate x-height with pronounced ascenders and descenders. Overall spacing and rhythm feel controlled and text-oriented, with lively stroke modulation that adds sparkle in display sizes.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand applications that benefit from high-contrast elegance and crisp detail.
The font conveys a polished, editorial tone—authoritative and literary with a touch of luxury. Its contrast and crisp detailing suggest formality and careful typesetting, lending sophistication without feeling overly ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-first serif that borrows from traditional print models, prioritizing clear structure and a cultivated typographic color. Its stroke modulation and sharp finishing aim to add sophistication and hierarchy in editorial typography.
In paragraphs, the strong vertical emphasis and thin connecting strokes create a bright, rhythmic pattern that reads as traditional book typography. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven logic, with elegant curves and fine finishing that harmonize with the text color.
