A high-contrast serif with strongly tapered verticals and hairline cross-strokes, producing a crisp, engraving-like texture. Serifs are sharply cut with subtle bracketing, and many letters show small ball terminals and finely pointed beaks. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase mixes compact forms with open counters; the roman ‘g’ is double-storey and the ‘a’ is double-storey with a pronounced ear. Figures are lining with clear contrast and pointed terminals, matching the text’s formal rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, and long-form articles where a classical serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly in display settings—chapter titles, pull quotes, posters, and formal materials like invitations—where its contrast and sharp detailing can read as premium and traditional.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, with an authoritative, bookish voice. Its sharp contrast and refined terminals lend a sense of ceremony and sophistication, evoking classic print typography rather than casual or utilitarian UI styles.
The design appears aimed at a conventional, print-oriented reading experience with a refined, high-contrast silhouette. Its detailing suggests an intention to echo classical serif models while remaining clean and disciplined for modern editorial composition.
In continuous text the thin hairlines create a lively sparkle, and the spacing feels measured and deliberate, emphasizing word shapes. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman/upright.
