A high-contrast serif with crisp, tapered strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are finely bracketed and often wedge-like, giving the outlines a sharp, cut-in feel at corners and terminals. Proportions lean toward traditional book type: moderate ascenders/descenders, open counters, and a steady baseline rhythm, with a slightly varied glyph width across the alphabet that adds a natural, text-oriented color. Numerals and capitals show elegant vertical stress and clean, sculpted joins that stay legible while retaining a formal, polished finish.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine layouts, book interiors, and long-form reading where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly in display settings—headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding—where its contrast and sharp serifs can add sophistication.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, conveying refinement and authority without feeling ornamental. It reads as literary and institutional—suited to contexts that benefit from tradition, clarity, and a quietly premium impression.
The design appears intended as a contemporary interpretation of a classic text serif: traditional proportions and readability paired with heightened contrast and precise, fashionable detailing. The goal seems to be a versatile face that can move from comfortable reading to confident editorial emphasis while maintaining a polished, formal presence.
In text, the strong contrast creates a lively texture and sharp sparkle at larger sizes, while the disciplined spacing and conventional structure keep paragraphs composed and readable. Curved letters show smooth, controlled stress, and terminals remain consistently pointed rather than rounded, reinforcing the crisp character.
