A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a largely vertical stress. Serifs are finely tapered and generally bracketed, giving strokes a carved, crisp finish without becoming slab-like. Capitals are stately with generous proportions and clear, sharp apexes, while the lowercase shows compact, sturdy forms with a moderate x-height and rounded bowls that transition into hairline joins. Overall spacing feels open and even, supporting a steady text rhythm while letting the contrast and delicate serifs remain prominent.
It performs best in editorial settings such as book typography, magazine layouts, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. The strong contrast and fine detailing also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and formal stationery when printed or set at sufficiently large sizes.
The font conveys a traditional, editorial seriousness with a refined, print-minded elegance. Its sharp hairlines and decisive serifs create a sense of authority and ceremony, suitable for content that aims to feel established and trustworthy.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, high-contrast text serif voice with strong typographic tradition, balancing readability with an elegant, premium tone. Its consistent modulation and crisp finishing details suggest a focus on refined editorial and literary applications.
Curves and bowls are smooth and slightly generous, while horizontals and finishing strokes snap to fine points, producing a crisp texture at display sizes. Numerals follow the same contrast logic and read clearly, with distinctive shapes that favor classic typographic conventions.
