A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and sturdier main strokes that subtly flare as they meet the terminals. Serifs are bracketed and tapered rather than slabby, giving strokes a carved, slightly calligraphic feel. Uppercase proportions are classical and steady, while the lowercase shows a moderate x-height with pronounced ascenders/descenders and compact, well-contained counters. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern, with elegant curves and thin joins that stay clean at display sizes.
Well-suited for magazine typography, book interiors, and literary or cultural publishing where contrast and detail can be appreciated. It also performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding contexts that want a classic serif voice with a slightly contemporary edge.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, with an editorial seriousness that reads as cultured and trustworthy. The sharp hairlines and flared endings add a touch of sophistication and drama without becoming ornate.
Designed to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with heightened contrast and subtly flared stroke endings, balancing elegance with clarity. The intent appears to be a versatile, print-oriented face that can move between text and display while maintaining a consistent, refined color on the page.
Rhythm is fairly even in text, but letter widths vary enough to create a lively, bookish texture. Curved letters (C, O, S) show smooth modulation, and diagonals (V, W, Y) appear crisp and decisive, reinforcing a tailored, print-forward character.
