A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and weighty verticals, showing crisp, bracketed serifs and subtly calligraphic stroke endings. Proportions lean toward compact lowercase with a short x-height and relatively tall ascenders, giving lines a poised, vertical rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, while many terminals taper into wedge-like points that add a touch of movement without breaking overall formality. Capitals read clean and measured, and numerals follow the same refined contrast and sharp finishing details.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and magazine use, and display-to-subhead settings where contrast and sharp finishing details can contribute to a premium feel. It also fits formal materials such as invitations, programs, and brand headlines that benefit from a traditional serif voice.
The tone is classical and literary, balancing elegance with a slightly expressive, pen-informed bite. It feels traditional and cultivated—appropriate for contexts that want authority and taste rather than neutrality.
Likely drawn to evoke a conventional text-serif tradition while adding a slightly calligraphic, tapered energy for a more distinctive page color. The intention appears to be a refined, readable serif that can handle continuous text but also brings elegance to titles and pull quotes.
In text, the lively tapered terminals and strong thick–thin pattern create sparkle, especially in larger sizes, while the compact lowercase can make the page feel a bit more formal and dense. The design’s crisp detailing suggests it will be most convincing when enough size and resolution are available to preserve the fine hairlines.
