A high-contrast serif with strong vertical stress and crisp, finely bracketed wedge serifs. Strokes transition quickly from hairlines to sturdy stems, creating a bright, airy texture at text sizes. Proportions are moderately generous with relatively narrow joins and open counters; curves are smooth and controlled, while terminals often taper to sharp points. The roman is upright and composed, with a clear baseline rhythm and a distinctly classical silhouette in both capitals and lowercase.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and formal communication pieces where contrast and sharp finishing details can be shown at larger sizes.
The overall tone is formal and cultured, with a pronounced sense of polish and tradition. Its sharp serifs and sparkling contrast read as refined and authoritative, leaning toward a literary, editorial voice rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a contemporary take on a classical text serif: disciplined structure, sharp detailing, and pronounced contrast to create a refined reading texture and a confident editorial presence.
Capitals feel stately and slightly monumental, with clean, uncluttered forms that hold up well in display lines. Numerals show the same high-contrast logic, giving figures a crisp, engraved-like presence when set large.
