This serif shows strong thick–thin modulation with delicate hairline joins and crisp, bracketed serifs. Capitals are stately and open, with an emphasis on vertical strokes and a clear vertical stress that gives the design a composed, upright rhythm. Lowercase forms are relatively compact and traditional, with a two-storey “g,” a small ear on “g,” and a serifed, slightly footed “t,” while punctuation and numerals follow the same high-contrast, finely finished construction. Overall spacing reads on the generous side, supporting a refined texture at display and larger text sizes.
Well suited to magazine and newspaper-style headlines, pull quotes, and refined editorial layouts where contrast can be showcased. It also fits book covers, cultural branding, and formal identity work that benefits from a classic, authoritative serif voice.
The tone is polished and cultivated, evoking bookish authority and high-end editorial styling. Its sharp contrast and clean finishing convey seriousness and sophistication rather than warmth or informality.
The font appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for polished typography—prioritizing elegance, clarity, and a traditional literary feel while remaining assertive enough for display use.
The design balances crisp hairline details with sturdy main stems, producing a bright, shimmering typographic color in paragraphs. Round letters maintain a controlled, slightly oval proportion, and the numerals appear designed to sit cleanly alongside uppercase settings.
