A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed wedge serifs and a vertical, bookish skeleton. Strokes transition quickly from thick stems to hairline connections, giving a clean, sparkling page color at text sizes. Curves are generous and well-rounded (notably in O/Q/C), while terminals end in pointed, chiseled serifs rather than soft ball endings. Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow in presence, and the lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with two-storey a and g and compact joins that keep the overall texture orderly.
Well-suited to long-form editorial typography—books, essays, and magazine features—where its contrast and sharp serifs provide a refined reading experience. It also performs convincingly for display roles such as headlines, pull quotes, and formal printed materials that benefit from a classic, authoritative look.
The tone is classic and cultivated, suggesting editorial polish and traditional authority. Its sharp serifs and bright contrast read as refined and slightly ceremonial, with a calm, literary voice rather than a casual one.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, high-contrast text serif with an elevated, print-oriented feel, balancing crisp detail with steady rhythm for continuous reading while retaining enough sparkle for prominent titles.
Figures appear oldstyle with noticeable ascenders/descenders and varied widths, reinforcing a traditional text flavor and lively horizontal rhythm. The italic is not shown; the sample emphasizes a consistent upright stance and a measured, formal cadence across mixed-case passages.
