A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress, combining sturdy main stems with fine hairlines. Serifs are crisp and narrow, often ending in small ball/teardrop shapes that give joins and terminals a slightly calligraphic finish. Curves are smooth and slightly condensed in places, while counters stay open enough for comfortable reading. The uppercase has stately proportions and strong rhythm; the lowercase is compact with clearly differentiated forms and lively entry/exit strokes. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and descenders that add texture in running text.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine settings where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal printed pieces such as invitations or programs, especially at medium to large sizes where the hairlines and terminal details remain clear.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking established print typography and classic publishing. The delicate hairlines and ornamented terminals introduce a refined, slightly decorative flavor without becoming ornate or flamboyant.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-centric reading experience with elevated contrast and subtle terminal embellishments. Its proportions and rhythmic modulation suggest an aim toward traditional editorial credibility while adding a distinctive, slightly calligraphic signature in the details.
The design shows a consistent contrast model across rounds and diagonals, with careful modulation in letters like S, G, and Q and a distinct, expressive ampersand. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright. The texture in paragraphs is lively due to the oldstyle figures and the small ball terminals, making it feel more editorial than strictly utilitarian.
