A high-contrast serif with thin hairlines and strong, well-defined main strokes. Serifs are bracketed and sharply finished, giving a crisp, engraved edge while maintaining smooth transitions into stems. The letterforms show a traditional text rhythm with moderate proportions, a compact, disciplined structure, and slightly modelled curves; terminals often end in pointed or tapered finishes rather than blunt cuts. Uppercase forms feel stately and balanced, while the lowercase maintains a steady texture with clear counters and a classic, bookish silhouette; numerals match the same contrast and finely tapered detailing.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif texture is desired, and it can also serve effectively for magazine headlines, chapter openers, and refined print materials such as programs or invitations where its high-contrast detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is formal and cultivated, with a distinctly literary and editorial voice. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted serifs suggest refinement and tradition, evoking printed books, established institutions, and carefully composed typography.
This design appears intended to deliver a traditional, print-oriented reading experience with an elevated, formal finish. The combination of strong vertical strokes, delicate hairlines, and bracketed serifs suggests a focus on classic typographic conventions while preserving a crisp, contemporary sharpness.
In text settings, the contrast and fine details create a lively sparkle and pronounced vertical emphasis. The design reads as conventional and familiar, but with enough sharpness in terminals and serifs to feel crisp and authoritative in larger sizes as well.
