A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, crisp hairlines, and bracketed wedge-like serifs. Capitals feel stately and well-proportioned, with moderate width and clean, open counters. The lowercase shows a traditional text rhythm with slightly varied letter widths, a two-storey “a,” and a compact, sturdy “g,” while ascenders and descenders are clearly articulated. Numerals follow the same sharp contrast and refined finishing, reading cleanly at display sizes and holding together well in text settings.
This design is well-suited to long-form editorial typography such as books, essays, and magazine text where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs convincingly for headlines, pull quotes, and other display moments that benefit from high contrast and crisp detailing.
The overall tone is polished and editorial, projecting a classic bookish authority with a fashionable, high-end edge. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted serifs give it a composed, formal voice that suits refined and literate contexts.
The font appears intended as a conventional, refined text serif that brings a classic typographic voice to contemporary publishing, emphasizing elegance through strong contrast, sharp hairlines, and disciplined proportions.
Stroke terminals are consistently sharp and controlled, with hairline crossbars and joins that emphasize elegance over robustness. Spacing appears balanced and even in running text, producing a steady, traditional texture with a slightly “dressy” sheen.
