A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines, strong vertical stems, and bracketed, slightly wedge-like serifs that sharpen to fine points. The letterforms show a classical, editorial rhythm with moderate proportions and a steady baseline, balancing large, open counters (notably in C, G, O, and Q) against pronounced thick–thin transitions. Terminals tend to be clean and tapered rather than rounded, and the curves carry a subtle vertical stress that reinforces a traditional book-face feel. Numerals follow the same contrast and modulation, reading cleanly at display sizes with elegant, slender joins and clear silhouettes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, essays, and book or journal layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from high contrast and sharp, elegant detailing.
The font conveys an elegant, composed tone associated with print tradition—confident, cultured, and quietly authoritative. Its sharp contrast and refined detailing suggest luxury and seriousness without becoming ornamental, making it feel suited to curated, high-end communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional, editorial serif that modernizes classic book typography through clean, high-contrast drawing and precise terminals. Its goal is likely to provide a dependable, upscale text-and-display companion for publishing-oriented settings.
In the sample text, the design maintains a consistent texture across mixed case, with capitals that feel stately and lower-case forms that remain crisp and slightly calligraphic in their modulation. The thin strokes and pointed serifs give it a polished, high-definition look that benefits from generous spacing and sufficient size, especially in dense paragraphs.
