A classic text serif with pronounced contrast between thick and thin strokes and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a measured, traditional rhythm with relatively narrow joins and clean, tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and controlled, while diagonals and arms end in sharp, slightly flared finishing strokes. Numerals follow the same refined construction, with slender stems and clear, open counters that keep the overall texture airy and composed.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts where a refined serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and elegant brand applications that benefit from crisp serifs and a traditional, cultivated tone.
The font projects a composed, literary tone with an old-style sense of dignity. Its sharp finishing details and high-contrast strokes read as formal and polished, suggesting editorial sophistication rather than casual or utilitarian styling.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast reading serif that prioritizes elegance and typographic tradition. Its consistent detailing and controlled proportions aim to deliver a polished editorial voice across display and text settings.
In text, the contrast creates a bright page color and a slightly sparkling texture, especially at larger sizes. Capital forms feel stately and carefully proportioned, pairing well with the lighter, more fluid lowercase for a balanced typographic voice.
