A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered terminals and finely bracketed serifs. The design shows a calm, upright stance with narrow joins and crisp hairlines that give strokes a lively, calligraphic modulation. Capitals are stately and relatively wide, while lowercase forms keep open counters and a measured rhythm; ascenders are prominent and the overall spacing reads clean rather than tight. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, pairing strong verticals with delicate connecting strokes.
Well-suited to editorial typography, long-form reading, and magazine layouts where contrast and refinement add character. It also fits formal communications—programs, invitations, and premium branding—especially in display sizes where hairlines and terminal details remain clear.
The font conveys a composed, cultured tone—polished and bookish, with an old-style elegance. Its crisp contrast and restrained detailing suggest tradition and authority without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a versatile, conventional text serif with elevated contrast and classic proportions, aiming for readability paired with a distinctly refined, literary personality.
Distinctive details include a slightly swashed, looped tail on the Q, a gently curved J, and a two-storey a with a firm vertical stress. Ball-like terminals appear on some lowercase forms, adding a subtle decorative flourish while staying within a conventional text-serif language.
