A high-contrast serif with sharp, bracketed wedge serifs and a clear vertical stress. Strokes transition quickly from thick stems to fine hairlines, with crisp terminals and gently tapered joins that create a lively, slightly calligraphic rhythm. Proportions feel balanced and readable, with moderately open counters, a straightforward two-storey “a,” and lining figures that share the same crisp, engraved-like detailing.
Well-suited to editorial design, book and magazine typography, and other reading-focused layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely in display sizes for chapter titles, pull quotes, and formal announcements where its crisp contrast and refined serifs can be showcased.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, evoking traditional print typography and editorial refinement. Its crisp hairlines and pointed serifs add a formal, slightly dramatic character suited to polished, literary settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, print-classic serif experience with heightened contrast and sharp detailing, balancing elegance with enough structural solidity to hold up in continuous text.
In text, the strong contrast and sharp serifs produce a bright, sparkling texture, while the sturdy main stems keep paragraphs from feeling fragile. The caps present a dignified presence for headings, and the numerals carry the same traditional, print-oriented styling for consistent typographic color.
