This typeface is a high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines, fuller vertical stems, and bracketed wedge-like serifs that taper to fine points. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with a gently modulated stroke that reads as drawn rather than purely geometric. Capitals are stately with relatively narrow interior apertures, while the lowercase shows compact bowls and clear, traditional forms (two-storey a and g), producing a lively, slightly varied rhythm across words. Numerals and punctuation follow the same contrast and finishing logic, giving the overall texture a polished, print-oriented feel.
It suits editorial settings such as books, long-form articles, and magazines where a classic serif voice is desired. The pronounced contrast and fine detailing also make it effective for headlines, display typography, and brand identities that aim for a premium, traditional impression.
The tone is refined and literary, evoking traditional book typography and editorial seriousness. Its sharp terminals and elegant contrast lend a sense of formality and craftsmanship, while the subtly calligraphic curves add warmth and sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, bookish serif with elevated elegance—balancing familiar text forms with sharper, more stylized finishing for a refined catalog and editorial presence.
In text, the combination of strong verticals and delicate hairlines creates a bright, shimmering page color at larger sizes, with distinctive details in letters like Q, J, and the lowercase g that contribute personality without departing from conventional serif expectations.
