This is a high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and strong, vertical main stems. The serifs are fine and sharp with a lightly bracketed feel in many joins, and the curves show a predominantly vertical stress. Bowls and counters are relatively open, while terminals on letters like a, c, f, r, and y finish in crisp wedges and small teardrop-like forms. Overall spacing reads measured and traditional, with a steady rhythm that favors clarity in text while still showing a distinctly dressy, display-capable cut.
It suits editorial typography such as books, magazines, and cultural journals, where its contrast and traditional structure can add sophistication without sacrificing readability. It also works well for headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand identities that benefit from a classic serif voice.
The font conveys an elevated, literary tone—polished, composed, and slightly luxurious. Its sharp contrast and fine detailing suggest fashion and culture publishing, while the familiar oldstyle structure keeps it grounded and credible for longer reading.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-oriented serif with heightened refinement—balancing familiar book typographic proportions with a more glamorous contrast and sharp finishing. It aims to feel authoritative and literary while offering enough sparkle for prominent editorial moments.
Uppercase forms are stately and well-proportioned, with a classic round O and a Q featuring a pronounced, calligraphic tail. Numerals match the texty, oldstyle-leaning character, keeping contrast and serif treatment consistent with the letters.
