A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, tapered hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and mostly wedge-like, giving terminals a clean, chiseled finish without feeling brittle. The proportions are balanced with moderate letterfit and steady rhythm; rounds are smooth and slightly condensed in feel, while verticals stay crisp and dominant. Lowercase forms read traditional and bookish, with compact bowls, a double-storey a, a narrow, pointed w, and lining numerals that share the same strong contrast and poised stance.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book and magazine typography, and headline work where contrast and refinement are desirable. It can also support premium branding and packaging when set with adequate size and spacing to preserve its fine details.
The overall tone is polished and cultivated, evoking classic book typography and contemporary magazine refinement. It feels formal without being ornate, projecting clarity, confidence, and a quiet sense of luxury.
Likely designed to deliver a contemporary take on a classic text serif: strong contrast, disciplined proportions, and a clean, authoritative rhythm that scales from refined display to readable editorial settings.
In text, the strong stroke modulation and fine hairlines create a bright page color that favors generous sizes and good reproduction. The italic is not shown; the Roman carries the personality through crisp serifs, delicate joins, and carefully controlled curves.
