A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions and sharply tapered terminals. The serifs are bracketed and relatively fine, giving the outlines a crisp, engraved feel while maintaining smooth curves in round letters. Capitals are stately with generous internal space; the lowercase shows traditional proportions with a two-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and teardrop-like joins and endings in places. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with elegant curves and narrow hairlines that emphasize a refined rhythm in text.
It fits well for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is appropriate. The crisp contrast also makes it effective for display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, and formal printed materials like invitations or programs.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone—confident and composed rather than playful. Its sharp hairlines and disciplined construction suggest editorial seriousness and a slightly aristocratic elegance, suitable for contexts where tradition and authority are desired.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances elegance with legibility. Its detailing and proportions aim to provide a traditional reading experience while offering enough sharpness and refinement to perform confidently in display sizes.
In the text sample, the strong contrast and fine serifs create a lively sparkle, especially at larger sizes, while the consistent vertical stress keeps paragraphs orderly. The sharp diagonal strokes in letters like V, W, and Y add a crisp, slightly dramatic edge to headings.
