A high-contrast serif with pronounced vertical stress and crisp, hairline serifs. Stems are sturdy and straight while horizontals and connecting strokes become noticeably finer, creating a bright, elegant rhythm in text. Serifs are narrow and sharply cut with little visible bracketing, and many terminals finish in clean, tapered points. Proportions are fairly traditional with moderate ascenders/descenders and clear, open counters; capitals read stately and well balanced while lowercase maintains a consistent, bookish texture.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine layouts where high-contrast serifs can add sophistication. It also performs strongly for display roles—headlines, chapter openers, and refined branding—especially at sizes where hairlines remain clear. For longer passages, it will benefit from comfortable sizes and good reproduction conditions to preserve the fine details.
The overall tone is refined and classical, with an editorial seriousness that feels at home in cultured, traditional contexts. Its sharp detailing and contrast lend a sense of luxury and ceremony without becoming overly ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast reading voice with a polished, contemporary crispness. It prioritizes elegant detail and a disciplined vertical rhythm, aiming for a formal, literary presence in both text and display settings.
Round forms like C, G, and O are smooth and controlled, while diagonals (V, W, X, y) stay crisp and authoritative. Numerals appear similarly contrasty and formal, matching the letterforms for cohesive setting in headings and pull quotes.
