A high-contrast text face with crisp vertical stress and smooth, rounded bowls paired with tapered joins. Strokes transition sharply from thick to hairline, and terminals often finish with small bracketed, serif-like flares that keep the forms clean rather than ornamental. Proportions feel traditional and slightly narrow in the lowercase, with compact counters and a steady baseline rhythm; the numerals follow the same contrast and show oldstyle influences in their varied heights and lively curves.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where contrast and traditional proportions help establish hierarchy and tone. It also performs well for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding where a classic, literary voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, suggesting printed literature and careful typesetting rather than casual UI. Its contrast and sharp detailing convey refinement and authority, while the rounded shaping keeps it approachable and readable.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, print-oriented reading experience with pronounced contrast and disciplined letterforms. It balances a classic text rhythm with crisp detailing to support both continuous reading and strong typographic emphasis.
Uppercase forms are stately and open, with clear, classical construction (notably in C, G, and S) and consistent contrast across the set. Lowercase letters show a strong text rhythm with distinct shapes (two-storey a, looped g, and a gently curved f), and punctuation-like details such as the i/j dots are small and crisp.
