A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a distinctly vertical stress. Strokes move from hairline thins to firm stems with clean, sharp terminals, producing a bright, polished page color. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned with generous interior space, while the lowercase maintains a traditional text rhythm with clearly modeled bowls and narrow joins. Numerals align with the same refined contrast and show old-style influence in their shaping, keeping the overall texture graceful rather than rigid.
Well suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where a classic, high-contrast serif can carry long-form reading with a refined texture. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and luxury-facing materials such as invitations and cultural programs where sharp serifs and elegant contrast are desirable.
The tone is formal and cultivated, with a bookish, editorial feel that suggests tradition and authority. Its sharp finishing and slender hairlines add a sense of luxury and ceremony, while the steady proportions keep it composed and readable.
The design appears intended as a conventional, literature-friendly serif that balances traditional forms with a crisp, contemporary finish. Its pronounced contrast and carefully bracketed serifs aim to deliver an upscale, authoritative voice for text and display use.
At display and headline sizes the hairlines and pointed serifs read especially crisp, emphasizing the font’s engraved-like finesse. In paragraph settings it creates a lively rhythm through pronounced thick–thin modulation and open counters, giving text a classic, composed cadence.
