A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and weighty vertical stems, producing a bright, polished texture in paragraph settings. Serifs are bracketed and sharply finished, with clear, calligraphic stroke modulation across curves and joins. Uppercase forms feel stately and controlled, while the lowercase shows traditional book-face construction with a two-storey a and g, narrow apertures, and finely tapered terminals. Numerals echo the same contrast and sharp finishing, giving figures a formal, set-text presence.
Well-suited to books, long-form reading, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice and refined contrast are desirable. It also works for branding and formal printed materials such as invitations or programs, especially when paired with generous spacing and clean layouts.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a refined, slightly dramatic contrast that reads as literary and authoritative. Its sharp detailing and poised rhythm suggest tradition and care, leaning toward a cultivated, high-end voice rather than a casual one.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, prestige-oriented text serif with pronounced stroke contrast and precise finishing—balancing readability with an elevated, editorial character.
In continuous text, the strong vertical emphasis and thin connecting strokes create an elegant page color that benefits from comfortable sizes and sufficient line spacing. Pointed diagonals (notably in letters like V, W, and X) add a crisp sparkle, while round forms remain smooth and controlled without becoming soft or informal.
