This is a high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, crisp hairlines, and sharply finished, bracketed serifs. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow in feel, with clean vertical stress and tapered joins that keep counters open. The lowercase shows traditional, text-oriented proportions with a modest x-height and clear differentiation between stems, bowls, and terminals; details like the two-storey a and g, the ear on g, and the angled tail on Q reinforce a classic, structured build. Numerals follow the same calligraphic contrast, with flowing curves and fine serifs that match the letterforms.
It performs especially well in editorial contexts—magazine typography, book interiors, essays, and long-form reading—where its classic serif construction and disciplined rhythm support comfortable scanning. The pronounced contrast also makes it effective for display uses such as headlines, pull quotes, and formal stationery when set with adequate size and leading.
The overall tone is formal and cultured, projecting an editorial, literary confidence rather than a casual or utilitarian voice. Its sharp contrast and polished finishing give it a premium feel suited to traditional publishing aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literature-friendly serif with a refined, high-contrast finish, bridging traditional book typography with a more fashionable editorial sheen. Its consistent stress, sharp terminals, and measured proportions suggest a focus on clarity and sophistication across both text and larger settings.
Rhythm is steady and vertical, with strong stem emphasis and delicate connective strokes that create a bright texture in text. The design balances crispness with readability by keeping apertures and inner counters relatively generous for a Didone-leaning style.
