A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and more substantial stems, showing bracketed serifs and a measured, bookish rhythm. Capitals are stately and relatively wide with smooth curves (notably the round letters) and clean, sharp terminals. Lowercase forms read traditionally with a moderate x-height, clear two-storey a, a looped g, and a narrow, pointed w; the f and t are slender with delicate finishing. Numerals are lining-style and proportional in feel, with graceful curves and fine stroke endings that match the text weight and contrast.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and essays where a classic serif texture is desired, and equally effective for magazine typography, pull quotes, and refined headlines. It can also support formal print pieces—programs, invitations, and cultural branding—where elegance and tradition are important.
The overall tone is formal and cultivated, with an understated luxury that suggests print tradition and careful typesetting. Its contrast and delicate detailing lend a poised, editorial voice rather than a utilitarian one.
Likely intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances classical proportions with crisp, contemporary finishing for editorial versatility. The letterforms prioritize readability and a polished page color while retaining enough sharpness for display use.
The design shows a calm, consistent baseline and a controlled modulation that stays crisp at display sizes. Joins and brackets are subtle, keeping the texture even while preserving sharp serif presence and distinct letter silhouettes.
