A high-contrast serif with sharp, hairline serifs and smooth bracketed joins, producing a crisp, polished texture. Curves are round and open, while verticals carry most of the weight, creating a pronounced thick–thin rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Proportions feel traditional and balanced, with moderate counters and a clear, readable skeleton; the lowercase shows gently tapered terminals and a compact, controlled flow in text. Figures appear lining with similarly high contrast, including a distinctive, flowing “2” and an open “4,” matching the overall formal construction.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and magazine text where a classic, high-contrast serif is desired. It also performs convincingly in display roles—headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding—where its crisp serifs and elegant modulation can read as premium. For formal print materials such as invitations or programs, it provides a traditional, polished tone.
The font conveys a refined, literary tone associated with established publishing and classic typography. Its sharp contrast and clean detailing feel formal and cultured, adding a sense of sophistication without becoming ornamental. In paragraphs, it reads poised and measured, lending authority to titles and a quiet elegance to long-form text.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-forward serif with an elevated, editorial finish. By combining strong contrast with disciplined proportions and restrained detailing, it aims to deliver both long-form readability and a sophisticated presence in larger sizes.
In the sample text, spacing and stroke modulation create a bright, airy page color, especially at larger sizes. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow in impression, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with noticeable stroke contrast on diagonals and bowls. Overall detailing is restrained and consistent, prioritizing clarity and a traditional typographic voice.
