A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a crisp light–dark rhythm across lines. Serifs are bracketed and finely cut, with pointed terminals and delicate joins that emphasize a traditional, vertical-stress construction. Proportions feel generously set, with ample interior counters and open spacing; capitals are stately and low-contrast in silhouette while still showing pronounced stroke modulation. Lowercase forms are compact and readable with small, precise details (notably in the ear, beaks, and entry strokes), and numerals follow the same contrasty, old-style influenced shaping.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine settings where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials such as programs and invitations, especially when set with comfortable leading to preserve the delicacy of its fine strokes.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting authority and tradition with a refined, slightly dramatic elegance. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted serifs lend a cultured, editorial voice suited to established institutions and heritage-oriented branding.
This typeface appears designed to deliver a conventional, literary reading experience while adding a touch of high-contrast sophistication for display moments. Its consistent stroke modulation and carefully shaped serifs suggest an intent to balance tradition, clarity, and a poised, premium feel.
The design rewards larger sizes where the hairlines and bracketed transitions can stay clean, and it creates a distinct typographic color in paragraphs—dark verticals punctuated by bright, thin horizontals and serifs. Curves are smooth and controlled, with a consistent, polished finish across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
