This serif typeface shows pronounced contrast between thick and thin strokes with crisp, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs. Letterforms feel carefully drawn with slightly calligraphic modulation, giving bowls and joins a refined, sculpted look. Uppercase proportions are stately and balanced, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with clear counters and moderate apertures. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, combining sturdy stems with delicate hairlines for a cohesive text-and-display presence.
Well suited to editorial systems such as magazines, journals, and book typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly for headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand identities that benefit from high-contrast elegance. For longer passages, it will read most comfortably where reproduction is clean enough to preserve its fine hairlines.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, evoking book typography and high-end editorial design. Its sharp serifs and elegant contrast project authority and sophistication, with a slightly dramatic edge when set large. The texture reads composed and deliberate rather than casual or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literature-forward serif with elevated contrast and sharp detailing, balancing readability with a distinctly polished, premium tone. It aims to feel familiar in structure while adding sophistication through refined stroke modulation and crisp terminals.
Curves are smooth and controlled, and many terminals end in fine points that sharpen the silhouette. The “g” is double-storey and the “a” is double-storey, reinforcing a conventional reading feel, while the capital forms retain a dignified, inscriptional presence. At larger sizes the hairlines become a prominent stylistic feature, emphasizing a luxurious, print-like character.
