A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin transitions and crisp, hairline finishing strokes. Serifs are fine and mostly bracketed, giving the letterforms a sculpted, bookish feel while keeping edges sharp. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, while lowercase forms show traditional, text-oriented construction with clear counters and compact joins; the two-storey “a” and “g” reinforce a conventional reading rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic with elegant curves and tapered terminals, keeping the overall texture bright and refined at larger sizes.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazines, book typography, and article layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and title treatments that can showcase its contrast and sharp finishing strokes.
The tone is traditional and polished, leaning toward a literary and editorial voice rather than casual or utilitarian. Its contrast and delicate details suggest sophistication and authority, with a quiet, old-style elegance that reads as formal and cultured.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, authoritative text serif with elevated contrast—aiming for a refined, print-classic character that feels at home in book and editorial settings while remaining clean and contemporary in its drawing.
The strong contrast and fine serifs create a lively sparkle in text, especially in headings, but also make details feel more delicate in dense settings or at small sizes. Round letters (C, O, Q) show smooth, controlled curves, while strokes end in distinctly tapered, calligraphic-like terminals that add finesse to the page.
