This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with sharp, clean joins and bracketed serifs that taper into pointed terminals. Proportions are generous and horizontally expansive, with wide capitals and ample interior counters that keep the texture open. Curves are smoothly drawn and slightly calligraphic in their stress, while horizontals and hairlines stay fine and crisp, creating a refined page color at text sizes. Numerals and lowercase follow the same contrasty rhythm, with rounded bowls and confident, steady verticals.
Well-suited to book and magazine typography, especially for literary or cultural content where a classic serif voice is desired. The open proportions and clear contrast also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that call for a traditional, established tone.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, evoking established publishing and institutional communication. Its high-contrast rhythm and stately proportions read as formal and authoritative, with a polished, slightly dramatic edge that suits classic editorial typography.
The font appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and generous width, balancing readability with a more dramatic, polished presence. It seems designed to deliver a classic publishing feel while retaining enough crispness and character to carry prominent editorial moments.
The design leans on strong vertical emphasis and finely tapered details; the delicacy of the thinnest strokes suggests it will look best with sufficient resolution or print quality. Spacing appears comfortable and even in running text, supporting long-form readability while still feeling display-capable at larger sizes.
