A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, bracketed serifs that taper to fine points. Capitals are broad with generous proportions and open counters, while the lowercase shows a steady, upright rhythm with clear, slightly calligraphic stroke transitions. Curves are smooth and full (notably in C/O/Q), and terminals often finish in pointed, beak-like forms that add sparkle without becoming ornamental. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, reading cleanly and consistently alongside the text.
Well-suited to magazines, book interiors, and long-form editorial settings where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and brand identities that benefit from high-contrast sophistication. The crisp detailing makes it especially effective in print and in larger on-screen sizes.
The overall tone is refined and authoritative, leaning toward a bookish, editorial voice. Its crisp contrast and pointed details create a polished, slightly dramatic impression that feels traditional yet energetic on the page.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with elevated contrast and sharper finishing details for added distinction. Its wide proportions and disciplined structure suggest an aim for both legibility and a confident, premium presence in editorial and brand-forward typography.
The design relies on strong vertical stress and delicate hairlines, giving it a bright typographic color at display sizes and a distinctly formal texture in paragraphs. Broad letterforms and sturdy main stems help maintain clarity, while the fine serifs and tapered terminals contribute a premium, crafted feel.
