A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered strokes and bracketed serifs that give the letterforms a carved, print-like finish. Proportions are balanced with moderate x-height and clear, open counters; curves are smooth and elliptical, while joins and terminals stay sharp and controlled. The capitals feel stately and slightly narrow with strong vertical stress, and the lowercase shows traditional serif construction with a two-storey “a,” a compact, rounded “e,” and a “g” with a prominent ear. Numerals align cleanly with the text style, using distinct, oldstyle-like shapes and fine hairlines that reinforce the font’s elegant rhythm.
Well suited to editorial design such as magazines, books, essays, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for refined headlines, pull quotes, and brand typography that aims for an established, premium feel.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with an editorial seriousness that reads as trustworthy and established. Its contrast and crisp finishing add a sense of sophistication suited to formal communication rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, print-informed reading experience with elevated contrast and carefully finished details, balancing elegance with functional legibility in paragraph settings and display sizes.
In text, the spacing and rhythm feel even and composed, with hairlines that create a light, shimmering texture at larger sizes. The design’s sharp serifs and thin strokes suggest best results in print-like contexts and on sufficiently high-resolution screens where fine details remain intact.
