A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and sturdy vertical stems, showing a clear calligraphic axis and bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and slightly compressed, with tight apertures and confident terminals that often end in small wedges or fine points. Uppercase forms feel stately and balanced, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with pronounced ascenders/descenders and compact counters. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven rhythm, reading as traditional text figures with refined strokes and a slightly varied, organic spacing texture in running copy.
Well suited to book and magazine typography, literary covers, and editorial systems where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly in display settings—headlines, pull quotes, and cultural branding—where its contrast and sharp finishing details can read as premium and formal.
The overall tone is poised and editorial, projecting authority and polish without feeling overly ornate. Its sharp contrast and controlled detailing evoke classic book typography and cultured, formal communication, with a subtly dramatic edge in large sizes.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional, high-contrast reading experience with an elevated, publication-ready demeanor, balancing classic proportions with crisp detailing for strong headline presence.
The design relies on contrast and tight interior spaces for character, so it appears most confident when given enough size and leading to let the hairlines and serifs remain distinct. In paragraphs, the dark verticals create a steady cadence, while the finer strokes add a refined sparkle.
