A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines, firm vertical stress, and sharply bracketed serifs that taper into pointed terminals. Proportions feel traditional and bookish, with open counters and a steady rhythm that remains composed at text sizes while gaining elegance in display. Curves are smooth and controlled, and joins are clean, producing a polished, print-oriented texture across words and lines.
Well suited for editorial layouts such as magazines, books, and long-form articles where a refined serif texture is desired. It also fits institutional communications, cultural branding, invitations, and packaging that benefits from a classic, authoritative tone. In larger sizes it can serve as an elegant headline face, while in moderate sizes it maintains an orderly, traditional reading rhythm.
This typeface conveys a refined, literary tone with a touch of formality. Its crisp contrast and tapered detailing give it a cultured, editorial voice that feels suited to institutions, publishing, and classic branding.
The design appears intended to balance classical serif conventions with a more sparkling, high-contrast finish. It aims to deliver readable, composed text while also providing a dignified, premium look for headlines and typographic statements.
Capitals are stately and proportioned with ample internal space, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast, old-style-inspired presence. The sample text shows a smooth baseline and consistent spacing, with delicate details that will be most visible when printing or rendering is sufficiently crisp.
