A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and sharply tapered terminals. Stems read sturdy while hairlines stay fine, creating a bright, elegant rhythm at text sizes. The lowercase shows oldstyle influence with a two-storey “g,” a gently sloped “e” crossbar, and a subtly angled stress through bowls; joins and shoulders are smoothly modeled rather than geometric. Capitals are stately and balanced, with pointed apexes and clean, triangular serifs that keep silhouettes sharp without becoming spiky.
Well-suited for book interiors, long-form editorial, and magazine typography where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs well for headings, pull quotes, and formal communications that benefit from contrast and crisp serif detailing.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and editorial seriousness. Its contrast and detailing add a refined, slightly dramatic flavor that feels at home in literary and institutional contexts rather than casual or playful ones.
The design appears intended as a conventional, literature-oriented serif that balances readability with a polished, classical presence. Its modeled curves, bracketed serifs, and controlled contrast suggest an aim toward timeless editorial typography with enough sharpness to stand out in display settings.
Figures appear lining with clear, open counters and strong vertical emphasis; the “1” is simple and upright while curved numerals carry the same calligraphic stress as the letters. Spacing in the sample text looks even and composed, supporting continuous reading while still delivering a distinctly formal texture.
