A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Serifs are crisp and mostly bracketed, giving stems a sculpted, engraved feel rather than a blunt or slabbed finish. Counters are relatively open and the forms stay upright with steady vertical stress, while terminals and joins show subtle calligraphic shaping. Overall proportions read slightly broad in the capitals and numerals, with generous, stable letterfit that supports continuous text.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where its contrast and serif detailing can provide a refined texture. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal brand typography—especially in print contexts where the sharp hairlines and bracketed serifs can be reproduced cleanly.
The tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography, formal print, and editorial polish. The strong contrast and clean detailing convey confidence and seriousness, with a hint of luxury associated with classical publishing and high-end print design.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances classical proportions with a more dramatic contrast for a polished, print-forward voice. Its consistent rhythm and controlled detailing suggest a focus on readability and typographic authority while still delivering an elegant, high-end finish.
In display sizes the contrast and sharp internal turns become especially prominent, producing a crisp sparkle along lines of text. The numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and feel well matched in color and weight to the letters, reinforcing a consistent page rhythm.
