A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick-to-thin modulation and sharp hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and neatly tapered, giving terminals a crisp, finished feel without becoming spiky. The proportions feel balanced and traditional: capitals are stately with open counters, while lowercase forms maintain a steady rhythm and clear differentiation, with single-storey a and g adding a slightly old-style flavor. Numerals are proportional and refined, matching the text color and contrast of the letters.
Well suited for long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a refined serif texture is desired. It can also support premium branding, headlines, and formal stationery when set with comfortable spacing and adequate size to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking classic book typography and cultured editorial design. Its sharp hairlines and poised serifs suggest formality and restraint, suited to sophisticated, text-forward communication rather than casual or rugged styling.
Designed to deliver a conventional, highly legible serif voice with elevated contrast and carefully finished details, providing a timeless typographic color for literature and editorial communication.
In the text sample, the face holds a clean, even texture at larger sizes, with strong vertical stress and noticeable sparkle from the thin strokes. The italic is not shown, and the display of forms emphasizes traditional construction and clarity over idiosyncratic quirks.
