A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered hairlines and fuller vertical stems, producing a crisp black-and-white rhythm on the page. Serifs are bracketed and finely cut, with pointed terminals and a subtly calligraphic modulation that feels drawn rather than purely geometric. Curves are smooth and generous in round letters, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) show clean, narrow joins and brisk finishing strokes. Lowercase forms keep a balanced, readable structure; the double-storey a and g and the sturdy, serifed numerals reinforce a traditional text face character.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, essays, and literary titles where a classic serif voice is desired. The strong contrast and crisp details also make it effective for display roles—chapter openers, pull quotes, and formal invitations—where elegance and authority are priorities.
The overall tone is refined and bookish, with an editorial polish that reads as traditional and authoritative. Its pronounced contrast and sharp finishing details add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, making it feel at home in cultured, heritage-leaning settings rather than casual interfaces.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif experience with elevated contrast and finely finished details, balancing readability with a more luxurious, print-centric texture. It emphasizes tradition and refinement, aiming for a dependable text foundation that can also scale up gracefully for prominent titles.
In text, the strong contrast and fine hairlines create a lively sparkle, especially at larger sizes where the delicate strokes remain clear. The uppercase has a dignified presence with slightly varied widths, while the numerals show classic, old-style-inspired shaping in their curves and terminals, supporting an established, print-forward voice.
