A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered strokes and clearly bracketed serifs. The capitals are stately and evenly proportioned with sharp terminals and a restrained, classical construction, while the lowercase shows moderate, readable forms with slightly calligraphic modulation. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are fairly open, and the overall rhythm feels steady rather than condensed or expansive. Numerals follow the same contrasty, old-style-inspired logic with elegant curves and delicate hairlines.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly for display settings such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined invitations or programs where its contrast and sharp detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, projecting a bookish, authoritative voice. Its sharp hairlines and refined serifs add a sense of formality and quiet luxury, suitable for content that aims to feel established and trustworthy.
Designed to provide a conventional, literature-forward serif voice with elevated contrast and careful finishing. The intent appears to balance traditional page typography with a slightly dressier, more editorial presence for titles and prominent text.
In the text sample, the contrast and delicate joins become more prominent at larger sizes, giving headlines a sophisticated sparkle. At smaller sizes, the fine hairlines may call for comfortable printing conditions or slightly larger settings to preserve clarity, especially in dense passages.
