A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and firm, tapered main strokes, showing a crisp vertical stress and clear thick–thin modulation. Serifs are small and bracketed, with pointed, wedge-like terminals on many capitals that add a sharp, etched finish. Proportions lean toward traditional book type: moderately tall capitals, a balanced lowercase with compact bowls, and relatively narrow joins that keep counters open despite the contrast. Curves are clean and controlled, while diagonals (notably in V/W/X) read as taut and slightly calligraphic in their tapering.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and literary or academic layouts where a refined, traditional serif is desired. It can also serve formal applications like invitations or certificates, especially when set with generous spacing and used at display-to-text sizes where the contrast and sharp terminals remain clear.
The overall tone is classical and cultivated, with a distinctly bookish, editorial voice. Its sharp terminals and polished contrast convey formality and seriousness, suggesting heritage and tradition rather than casual or playful use.
The design appears intended as a conventional, classical serif for composed reading and polished presentation, emphasizing typographic tradition through high contrast, bracketed serifs, and carefully controlled proportions. Its structure prioritizes a dignified texture and clear letterforms over overt stylistic novelty.
In text, the rhythm is even and measured, with prominent verticals and fine hairlines creating an elegant sparkle at larger sizes. The figures appear lining with pronounced contrast, matching the uppercase in presence and reinforcing a traditional typographic palette.
