A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and more robust main stems, producing a bright, polished texture. Serifs are finely bracketed and taper to sharp points, with a distinctly calligraphic stress visible in round forms. Capitals feel stately and well-proportioned with generous counters, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and slender rhythm. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and show traditional, oldstyle-like characteristics with varying heights and pronounced curves.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, magazine typography, and book work where a refined, classical serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly for display uses such as headlines, pull quotes, and luxury-oriented branding that benefits from sharp contrast and elegant detailing.
The overall tone is sophisticated and literary, evoking classic book typography and upscale editorial design. Its sharp detailing and pronounced contrast lend a sense of formality and premium finish, especially at larger sizes.
Designed to deliver a conventional, literary serif look with heightened elegance through strong stroke contrast and finely shaped serifs. The intent appears to balance classic readability with a more fashion-forward, display-friendly crispness.
The spacing and rhythm read open and controlled, with smooth curves on bowls and a slightly dynamic, angled feel in strokes. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a consistent upright voice with strong headline presence and a delicate, upscale texture in running text.
