A high-contrast serif with crisp, sharply tapered terminals and fine hairlines set against sturdy vertical stems. Proportions are fairly classical, with open counters and a measured rhythm that reads cleanly in continuous text. The capitals feel stately and balanced, while the lowercase shows a compact, controlled texture with clearly differentiated forms (notably the two-storey a and g, and a narrow, precise f). Numerals follow the same contrast-driven construction, with delicate joins and clear silhouettes.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where contrast and crisp detailing can be appreciated at comfortable sizes. It also performs strongly for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding where a classic, authoritative voice is desired.
The font conveys a polished, literary tone—formal without being ornate. Its sharp finishing and strong vertical emphasis suggest a confident, editorial voice suited to refined settings and traditional page typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, text-forward serif with modern sharpness: strong structure, clear letter differentiation, and an elegant contrast profile that supports both display and reading contexts.
Stroke modulation appears consistent across the set, with careful junctions and restrained detailing rather than decorative flourishes. Curves (C, O, Q, e) are smooth and rounded, while diagonals and arms (K, V, W, Y) end in clean, pointed terminals that add a crisp, contemporary edge to an otherwise classic structure.
