A high-contrast serif with fine hairlines and firmer vertical stems, featuring bracketed serifs that taper to sharp, pointed terminals. The capitals feel stately and relatively narrow, with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp joins; curves (C, G, S) are smooth and controlled rather than overly calligraphic. Lowercase forms are traditional and readable, with compact counters and a two-storey a, a looped descending g, and a slender, gently arched e. Numerals follow the same delicate, high-contrast rhythm, with elegant curves and light finishing strokes that keep the texture airy.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as book interiors, long-form articles, and magazine layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for display settings—titles, pull quotes, and refined branding—where its high-contrast detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is refined and literary, evoking bookish sophistication and an editorial, old-world polish. Its sharp hairlines and pointed serifs add a sense of formality and precision, while the restrained proportions keep it calm rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, classical reading experience with elevated contrast and finely cut details, balancing traditional proportions with a polished, modern sharpness for editorial and display use.
In text, the letterfit reads slightly generous and the contrast creates a lively sparkle, especially in large sizes. The repeated use of sharp wedge-like terminals and tapered serifs gives the design a consistent, crisp edge across both uppercase and lowercase.
