A high-contrast serif with a crisp, polished finish and clear vertical stress. Strokes alternate between very thin hairlines and sturdier stems, with finely bracketed serifs that stay sharp without becoming slabby. Capitals feel tall and composed with generous counters, while the lowercase shows moderate x-height and flowing joins that keep word shapes steady. Overall spacing and rhythm read as text-oriented, with elegant details in curves and terminals that give the design a bright, engraving-like sparkle.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and magazine features where its contrast and careful detailing add sophistication. It also works effectively for formal communication pieces—such as programs, invitations, and title pages—especially when paired with ample whitespace and high-quality printing.
The tone is formal and cultivated, evoking book typography, editorial refinement, and a quietly luxurious feel. Its sharp hairlines and poised proportions communicate seriousness and tradition while still feeling clean and contemporary in presentation.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with elevated contrast and meticulous finishing, balancing a dignified text texture with display-ready elegance for headings and pull quotes.
Round letters (like O/C/G) maintain smooth, even bowls with pronounced thick–thin modulation, and the numerals follow the same refined contrast with open, readable forms. The italic is not shown, and the roman maintains a consistent, disciplined texture across both the alphabet grid and the paragraph sample.
