A classic serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, sharply finished serifs. The letterforms show a traditional, calligraphic stress with tapered joins and smooth curves, producing a lively thick–thin rhythm. Capitals are well-proportioned and dignified, while the lowercase maintains a steady text color with clear counters and compact, controlled curves. Numerals align stylistically with the text, combining firm verticals with elegant curves and pointed terminals.
Well-suited to book and magazine typography, especially for literary or editorial layouts that benefit from a classic serif voice. It works confidently for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and institutional or premium branding where a refined, traditional tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, conveying authority and sophistication. Its high-contrast structure and sharp finishing give it a refined, slightly dramatic presence that feels at home in established publishing and formal communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an elevated, editorial finish—combining familiar proportions with sharper detailing and strong contrast to add sophistication without sacrificing readability.
In display sizes the strong contrast and pointed details read as crisp and elegant, while in paragraph settings the consistent rhythm and clear internal shapes support comfortable reading. The forms balance sturdiness in stems with delicate hairlines, creating a polished, classic texture on the page.
