A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and crisp, bracketed serifs that taper to sharp terminals. The capitals are stately and proportioned with a traditional, inscriptional feel, while the lowercase shows a measured rhythm and clear differentiation between rounds and stems. Curves are smooth and controlled, with a notably elegant Q tail and a two-storey g; spacing appears even and text color stays clean at display and paragraph sizes.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and literary publishing, as well as magazine features and other editorial layouts where a refined serif voice is desired. It also fits formal stationery and invitations, and works effectively for headings and pull quotes where the high-contrast detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, projecting an editorial, bookish seriousness with a touch of luxury. Its fine detailing and pronounced contrast read as cultured and formal rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated, high-contrast refinement—aiming for a classic reading experience while adding a slightly dressier, more premium finish in display settings.
Numerals follow the same refined contrast and serif detailing, with open counters and classic proportions that align well with the letterforms. The design maintains a consistent axis and stroke logic across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, giving paragraphs a composed, curated look.
