A high-contrast serif with prominent thick–thin modulation and crisp, finely tapered hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and generally sharp, with a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle influence in the curved joins and ear/terminal shaping. Counters are open and rounded, while vertical stems stay authoritative, giving the face a clear, structured rhythm. Numerals and capitals feel display-leaning due to the strong contrast and elegant hairlines, yet the lowercase maintains a steady, readable texture at text sizes.
Well suited to editorial systems such as magazines, journals, and book typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It performs nicely for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes that can take advantage of the sharp contrast and elegant hairlines, while still supporting extended reading in text settings when size and printing conditions are favorable.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with an editorial polish that reads as confident and traditional. Its sharp hairlines and sculpted serifs add a sense of sophistication and formality, suitable for classic, high-end typography without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, bookish serif feel with elevated contrast and crisp detailing—balancing traditional text-serif proportions with a more dramatic, attention-grabbing stroke modulation for editorial versatility.
The design shows careful modulation in diagonals and curves, producing a lively sparkle in larger settings. The spacing and fit appear calibrated for continuous reading, while the hairline details and pronounced contrast make it particularly striking in headlines and pull quotes.
