A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered serifs and bracketed joins that give the strokes a subtly calligraphic flow. The capitals are proportionally broad with generous counters and clear, stable vertical stress, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and compact, well-contained bowls. Terminals are sharp and neatly finished, producing a clean rhythm across words; the overall texture reads smooth and even at text sizes, with pronounced thick–thin transitions that become more decorative as size increases. Figures follow the same contrast and serif logic, with open shapes and distinct silhouettes.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs convincingly in headlines, pull quotes, and packaging or identity applications that benefit from a refined, traditional voice and strong typographic presence.
The tone is traditional and literary, projecting a composed, editorial voice associated with book typography and established institutions. Its contrast and refined detailing add a touch of sophistication, making it feel both formal and confident without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on a classic book serif: readable and conventional in structure, but elevated through strong contrast, crisp serifs, and carefully finished terminals to provide editorial elegance in both text and display.
Spacing appears comfortable and slightly generous, supporting continuous reading while preserving a lively sparkle from the contrast. The design balances sturdy stems with fine hairlines, so it feels polished in display settings while still resembling a conventional text face in paragraph use.
