A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered hairlines and confident vertical stems, producing a crisp black-and-white rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and finely finished, with wedge-like entry and exit strokes that add a subtle calligraphic flavor without becoming ornate. Capitals feel stately and proportionally balanced, while the lowercase shows a readable, traditional structure with a two-storey “a,” a two-storey “g,” and compact, clean joins. Numerals follow the same sculpted contrast and open counters, reading clearly at text sizes while retaining a dressy, print-oriented finish.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazines, essays, and book interiors—where its refined contrast and traditional proportions enhance readability and tone. It also performs strongly for display applications such as headlines, pull quotes, and elegant collateral (programs, invitations, and brand materials) where a classic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is polished and classical, evoking bookish authority and premium editorial styling. Its high contrast and sharp detailing communicate sophistication and ceremony more than casual utility, giving text a composed, high-end voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif experience with elevated contrast and finely tuned finishing, balancing readability with a distinctly upscale, editorial character.
Letterforms exhibit a consistent modulation and careful terminal shaping, with delicate cross-strokes (notably on characters like “E,” “F,” and “T”) and pointed diagonals (such as “V,” “W,” and “X”) that reinforce a precise, engraved-like impression. The sample text shows strong word-shape clarity, though the finest hairlines will be most comfortable when printing or displaying at adequate sizes.
