A high-contrast serif with crisp, hairline joins and heavier verticals that create a sharp black‑and‑white rhythm on the page. Serifs are finely tapered and mostly bracketed, with pointed terminals and elegant, slightly calligraphic modulation. The capitals feel stately and somewhat narrow in their internal spaces, while the lowercase shows compact, well-contained bowls and clear, traditional forms; the two-storey a and g are prominent, and the italic is not in evidence. Numerals echo the same contrast and delicate finishing, with thin entry strokes and pronounced thick stems.
Well suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where high contrast and crisp detailing can enhance hierarchy and tone. It also performs well for elegant display uses—headlines, pull quotes, titles, and formal materials such as invitations or programs—especially when given comfortable size and spacing.
The overall tone is polished and literary, projecting authority and sophistication without becoming decorative. Its contrast and fine details lend it a premium, editorial flavor associated with classic book and magazine typography.
The design appears aimed at a contemporary take on conventional text serifs, emphasizing high contrast, sharp finishing, and classical proportions to deliver a refined reading and display voice for publishing-oriented work.
In text, the face produces a lively vertical cadence and a bright texture, with thin crossbars and hairline serifs contributing to a refined sparkle. At larger sizes the sharp terminals and sculpted curves become a key part of the personality, while in smaller settings the delicate thins may require sufficient size and printing/screen conditions to preserve detail.
