This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with a largely vertical stress and crisp, finely tapered serifs. Capitals are proportioned with generous curves and steady rhythm, while the lowercase combines compact, readable forms with distinctly modeled joins and terminals. Details like the two-storey “a,” the angled beak on “f,” and the descending tail on “Q” reinforce a traditional text-face structure. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and sharp finishing strokes that keep figures consistent with the letterforms.
It is well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where refined contrast and traditional serif construction are desirable. It can also perform effectively in magazine typography, essays, and cultured brand materials that benefit from an understated, classic voice.
The overall tone is polished and literary, pairing formality with a light, graceful presence. Its sharp finishing and controlled contrast suggest a cultivated, bookish character suited to classic typography rather than overt display styling.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that emphasizes elegance and typographic tradition. Its proportions and detailing aim to provide a composed reading texture while preserving a distinctive, finely finished personality in headlines and pull quotes.
Stroke endings tend to taper into pointed, calligraphic terminals, giving the text a lively sparkle at larger sizes. The sample setting shows good differentiation between similar shapes (such as I/l and O/0) through serifing and proportions, supporting clear reading in continuous text.
