A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and tapered, bracketed serifs that give strokes a subtly calligraphic finish. Capitals are stately and proportioned for display while maintaining a steady baseline rhythm; rounds are smoothly drawn and the counters are open. The lowercase shows compact, readable forms with a two-storey “a” and “g”, a narrow, pointed “w”, and a slender “t” with a concise crossbar. Figures align with the text color, mixing strong verticals with delicate joins and terminals for an overall refined texture.
Well suited to editorial settings such as book interiors, magazine features, and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal collateral like invitations or programs where contrast and refined details can be showcased.
The tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography and editorial polish. Its sharp contrast and sculpted terminals add a formal, slightly dramatic voice suited to dignified communication rather than casual UI text.
The design appears intended as a conventional, polished serif for text and titling, prioritizing classic proportions and a refined contrast model to deliver an authoritative, literary look across paragraphs and headings.
Spacing appears even and text color stays composed in paragraphs, though the thin hairlines and sharp joins suggest it will look best when printing or rendering conditions preserve fine detail. The design balances display-cap presence with a paragraph-friendly lowercase, producing a clear hierarchy when mixing sizes and cases.
