A refined text face with pronounced stroke-contrast and crisp, tapering terminals. Curves are smooth and round with a slightly calligraphic stress, while verticals read clean and steady for a composed rhythm. The lowercase shows a two-storey "a" and a looped "g" with a distinct ear, and overall spacing feels moderate with clear interior counters. Numerals follow the same contrasty construction, mixing straight stems with rounded bowls for a balanced, readable set.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, long-form reading, and book interiors, where contrast and refined detail can add character without overwhelming the page. It can also work for brand systems, packaging, and invitations that benefit from a polished, classic voice.
The overall tone is literary and cultivated, projecting an editorial seriousness with a subtle luxury edge. It feels traditional and composed rather than playful, suited to settings where clarity and prestige need to coexist.
Likely designed to deliver a timeless, high-end reading experience: familiar letter shapes, clear differentiation between characters, and elegant contrast that adds sophistication in both text and larger headline use.
In display sizes the thin strokes and sharp joins give a crisp, engraved quality, while in text the rounded forms and consistent proportions keep the flow even. The face maintains a calm baseline and a measured cadence, with capitals that feel stately without becoming overly wide.
