A high-contrast serif with crisp, sharply tapered serifs and clearly bracketed joins. Strokes move from thick verticals to very thin hairlines, with clean, controlled curves and moderately open counters. Uppercase forms are stately and slightly condensed in feel, while the lowercase shows a traditional text rhythm with sturdy stems, compact apertures, and a two-storey a and g. Numerals align with the same contrast and finish, featuring elegant curves and fine terminals that read best with adequate size and spacing.
Well-suited to long-form editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely in headings, pull quotes, and formal branding applications that benefit from high contrast and crisp detailing.
The overall tone is formal and literary, projecting tradition, restraint, and editorial seriousness. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast add a refined, slightly dramatic edge that feels at home in classic publishing contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an elevated, polished finish—balancing robust readability with high-contrast elegance for editorial and publishing-oriented settings.
Hairline details in letters like E, F, T, and the diagonals of W and X create a bright, sparkling texture, while the heavier vertical stems keep lines from feeling fragile. Descenders are noticeable but not exaggerated, and the punctuation and caps give headings a composed, traditional presence.
