A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines, weighty vertical stems, and smoothly bracketed wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show a subtly calligraphic modulation with pointed terminals and elegant joins, producing a lively rhythm without becoming ornamental. Proportions are fairly traditional, with a moderate x-height, compact counters, and a slightly varied visual width across glyphs; curves are clean and controlled, and numerals follow the same sharp, tapered detailing.
Well-suited to book typography, magazine layouts, and editorial systems where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and sophisticated branding applications that benefit from contrast and sharp detailing.
The overall tone is poised and literary, evoking classic book typography and polished editorial design. Its sharp terminals and strong contrast add a refined, slightly dramatic voice suited to formal and cultured messaging.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an elevated, print-minded finish—balancing readable proportions with expressive contrast and crisp serif construction for refined, classic setting.
In text, the contrast and fine serifs create a sparkling texture; at smaller sizes the thinnest strokes may require comfortable print or screen conditions. Uppercase forms read stately and structured, while lowercase adds a touch of warmth through gently tapered terminals and softly bracketed serifs.
