A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered hairlines and pronounced thick stems, giving a crisp black-and-white rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and relatively fine, with wedge-like terminals and a distinctly oldstyle, calligraphic modulation. The capitals feel stately and slightly narrow with clean, triangular entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase shows lively curves, compact bowls, and a traditional, bookish texture. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with delicate joins and clear, sculpted forms.
Well-suited to editorial design, books, and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired, particularly in print or higher-resolution contexts. It also performs convincingly for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding where high contrast and crisp detailing can be shown off.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, combining a traditional book-serf seriousness with a refined, fashion-magazine sparkle. Its sharp highlights and elegant tapering convey formality and polish, while the oldstyle flavor keeps it rooted in literary and historical typographic conventions.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif impression with heightened contrast for elegance and impact. It balances traditional proportions and bracketed serifs with sharper hairlines and tapered terminals to create a polished, contemporary editorial presence.
In running text, the strong contrast and fine details create a bright page color and a slightly sparkling surface, especially at larger sizes. The varied stroke endings and brisk serifs add articulation and character to headlines without becoming ornamental.
