A crisp serif with pronounced stroke modulation and sharp, tapered hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and relatively fine, giving the letterforms a polished, engraved feel, while the heavy verticals create strong dark–light rhythm in text. Capitals show traditional proportions with clean, flat terminals and narrow joins, and the lowercase maintains a steady texture with compact, neatly finished details (notably the two-storey a and g and a slim, controlled r). Figures align with the same contrast model, with open counters and clear, classical curves.
Well suited to editorial typography—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined titling—where its contrast and sharp finishing can shine. It can also work for book typography and longer reading in comfortable sizes and printing conditions, and for formal materials like programs, invitations, and premium brand collateral.
The overall tone is refined and literary, suggesting tradition and authority without becoming ornamental. Its high-contrast sparkle reads as premium and composed, suited to contexts where typographic sophistication is part of the message.
Likely designed to deliver a classic, high-end text serif voice with modern crispness: traditional construction and familiar proportions paired with dramatic contrast and precise detailing for strong typographic presence in both display and reading contexts.
In paragraph setting the font produces a bright, high-contrast page color with distinct vertical emphasis; the thinner strokes and serifs look intentionally delicate, especially at small sizes. Curves (C, G, O, Q and the lowercases) are smooth and controlled, balancing sharp terminals with rounded bowls for an orderly, editorial cadence.
