A high-contrast roman with crisp, bracketed serifs and clearly modulated strokes that read as calligraphically influenced rather than monoline. The letters show a traditional, slightly tapered structure with sharp triangular joins in forms like A and V, and a balanced, moderately open rhythm in the counters. Lowercase forms are bookish and steady, with a two-storey a, a compact e, and a q that descends with a clean, vertical tail. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), with varied heights and a flowing, serifed construction that matches the text texture.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book typography, and long-form reading where a classic texture is desired. It also performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and institutional branding that benefits from a traditional, high-contrast voice.
The overall tone is authoritative and cultivated, with an editorial voice that feels established and literary. Its contrast and sharp finishing details convey refinement and seriousness, while the steady proportions keep it approachable for sustained reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, print-oriented reading experience with elegant contrast and sharp, controlled detailing. It aims to balance a formal, classical presence with clear letter construction for dependable text setting.
In the sample text, the type builds a dark-but-lively page color: thick verticals anchor lines while hairlines and serifs add sparkle. Diacritics and punctuation (like the ampersand and apostrophe) sit comfortably within the same classical idiom and maintain the font’s crispness at display sizes.
