A high-contrast text serif with crisp hairlines, sturdier vertical stems, and bracketed wedge serifs that feel sharply cut rather than heavy. Curves are smooth and generously drawn, with open counters and clear apertures that keep forms readable in continuous text. Proportions are moderately wide with a steady rhythm; capitals are classical and restrained, while the lowercase shows a slightly calligraphic modulation in joins and terminals. Numerals follow the same contrasty, editorial tone, with a flowing 2 and 3 and a compact, neatly balanced 8.
Well suited to book typography, magazine features, essays, and other long-form reading where a refined serif voice is desired. It also performs well for formal headings, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural communications that benefit from a classic, authoritative texture.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with an editorial confidence that reads as cultured and deliberate. Its contrast and sharp finishing details lend a sense of sophistication suited to serious, bookish contexts rather than casual display.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, literary serif voice with elevated contrast and crisp detailing, prioritizing readability and a composed page texture while still offering enough sparkle for editorial emphasis.
Stroke transitions are clean and consistent, and the serif treatment remains coherent across caps, lowercase, and figures. The design maintains clarity in dense paragraphs, with punctuation and diacritics appearing understated and well integrated.
