A high-contrast serif with crisp, finely tapered hairlines and sturdy vertical stems. Serifs are small and bracketed, with sharp, clean terminals that keep the overall texture polished rather than ornate. The letterforms show a slightly sheared, calligraphic stress in rounded shapes, with open counters and a steady, readable rhythm in text. Capitals feel stately and proportioned, while lowercase has compact, bookish shapes (notably a two-storey a and g) and clear differentiation between similar forms.
It performs well for magazine and book typography, especially where a refined, high-contrast texture is desirable. The style also suits headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that want a classic, authoritative voice.
The font projects an editorial, cultivated tone—confident and traditional without feeling overly decorative. Its contrast and sharp finishing give it a premium, print-minded character suited to elevated typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, print-classic reading experience: strong vertical structure for clarity, paired with elegant hairlines and restrained bracketed serifs for sophistication in editorial settings.
Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with elegant curves and thin connecting strokes that add sophistication at display sizes. Spacing appears balanced and even in the sample paragraphs, producing a consistent grayscale and a composed reading flow.
