A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered hairlines and strong vertical stems, creating a crisp black-and-white rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and relatively fine, with pointed, wedge-like finishing on many strokes and clean, triangular joins. The capitals feel stately and slightly wide-set, with generous counters and pronounced thick–thin transitions; curves (C, G, O, Q) show a clear calligraphic stress. Lowercase forms keep a traditional text structure with a compact, sturdy feel in round letters, a two-storey g, and a delicate, narrow f; numerals balance bold stems with hairline cross-elements and refined curves.
Well-suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where a refined, high-contrast serif is desirable. It also works effectively for display uses such as headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a classic, upscale tone.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with an editorial, literary character that reads as classic and cultured. Its dramatic contrast and sharp detailing add a sense of luxury and ceremony, while maintaining familiar, conventional letterforms.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with heightened contrast for a more luxurious, attention-grabbing presence. It emphasizes crisp detailing, calligraphic stress, and balanced proportions to feel both familiar and elevated.
In text, the font produces a strong vertical cadence and clear word shapes, with punctuation and dots rendered as solid, round marks that stay visible at size. The sharp contrast and fine serifs give it a premium look, though the thinnest strokes are a defining visual feature in dense settings.
