A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and strong vertical stems, showing clear calligraphic stress and a distinctly editorial rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and finely tapered, with sharp, precise terminals and clean joins. Proportions lean classical: capitals are broad and dignified, while lowercase forms keep a steady x-height with open counters and a slightly dynamic, written feel in letters like a, g, and y. Numerals follow the same contrast and refinement, reading as traditional lining figures with delicate curves and thin cross strokes.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and literary publishing where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly for display applications—titles, pull quotes, and refined branding—where its contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and authoritative, with a distinctly bookish, cultivated character. Its sharp contrast and elegant detailing suggest prestige and tradition, while the consistent rhythm keeps it composed rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances classical proportions with crisp modern drawing, aiming for authoritative readability and a refined page color in editorial settings.
At larger sizes the hairlines and brackets read as particularly crisp, giving headlines a luxe, engraved-like finish. In dense text the strong contrast and narrow hairlines create a bright texture with pronounced verticals, which favors high-quality print or generous sizing and leading.
