A crisp serif with pronounced stroke contrast and finely tapered hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with a slightly calligraphic, angled feel in joins and terminals. The capitals are broad and stately with generous internal space, while the lowercase shows smooth, round bowls and a moderate, readable x-height. Curves and diagonals maintain a consistent rhythm, and details like the ear and beaks add subtle liveliness without becoming decorative.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial, and magazine layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly in headlines and pull quotes, where the contrast and crisp serifs add sophistication. Appropriate for branding and packaging that calls for a traditional, premium feel.
The overall tone is refined and literary, projecting a confident, editorial voice. Its high-contrast modeling and sharp finishing give it a formal, cultured character suited to premium typography. Despite the elegance, the shapes remain conventional and steady, keeping the mood professional rather than ornamental.
Designed to deliver a conventional text-serif reading experience with elevated contrast and carefully finished details. The intention appears to balance classic editorial authority with a polished, contemporary crispness for both text and display use.
In text, the contrast and slender horizontals create a bright page color with clear word shapes, especially in mixed-case. Numerals appear lining and proportioned to sit comfortably alongside capitals, supporting display and titling as well as general text setting.
