A refined text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a predominantly vertical stress. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with hairline terminals that stay crisp in larger sizes. Proportions are on the compact side with relatively narrow letters and a steady rhythm, while counters remain open enough for continuous reading. The lowercase shows traditional, bookish construction (double-storey a and g), and the numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with sturdy main stems and fine finishing strokes.
Well-suited to book and magazine typography, especially in print-oriented layouts that benefit from a crisp, high-contrast serif texture. It can also serve refined display roles—titles, pull quotes, and formal stationery—when set with comfortable tracking and line spacing.
The overall tone is polished and literary, with an editorial seriousness that reads as established and trustworthy. Its high-contrast sparkle and clean edges add a sense of elegance without becoming ornate, making it feel appropriate for classic, cultured typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif for editorial settings, emphasizing a classic typographic voice with heightened contrast and a compact footprint. It aims to deliver a composed page color and a refined, traditional tone for serious content.
In the sample text, the combination of tight proportions, tall capitals, and fine serifs produces a distinct, vertical texture on the page. Diagonals (such as in V, W, and X) remain crisp and controlled, and punctuation holds a sharp, traditional presence that supports long-form composition.
