This typeface is a high-contrast serif with a crisp, vertical rhythm and finely cut serifs. Strokes move from hairline-thin joins and terminals to confident thick stems, with smooth, calligraphic transitions that keep counters open and clean. Serifs are sharp and delicate, generally bracketed into the stems, and many terminals end in tapered, wedge-like cuts that add precision. Proportions feel balanced and conventional, with a moderately sized x-height, narrow-ish apertures in places, and a composed, bookish spacing that holds together well in continuous text.
It works well for book and long-form reading settings where a classic serif texture is desired, and it also performs nicely in magazine layouts and editorial typography where contrast can add sophistication. In display sizes, its fine serifs and sharp terminals bring a polished look for headlines, pull quotes, invitations, and premium brand materials.
The overall tone is poised and cultivated, projecting a sense of literary polish and contemporary editorial sophistication. Its sharp detailing and pronounced contrast create a fashionable, premium feel while maintaining a traditional, classical backbone.
The design appears intended as a modern, conventional text serif that emphasizes refinement through strong contrast and precise serif detailing, aiming for a polished reading texture and an upscale editorial presence when scaled up.
Uppercase forms read stately and controlled, with strong verticals and graceful curves; the diagonals in letters like V/W/X remain sturdy despite thin hairlines. Lowercase shows a double-storey “g” and a compact “e,” contributing to a familiar text-serif texture. Numerals appear lining with clear contrast and refined terminals, suited to running figures in composed layouts.
