A high-contrast serif with crisp, finely bracketed serifs and subtly flared terminals that widen as strokes meet their endings. Round letters show a fairly vertical stress and smooth, controlled curves, while straights are clean and upright with a steady rhythm. Proportions are balanced with a moderate x-height, open counters, and clear differentiation between characters; the lowercase shows traditional forms such as a double-storey “a” and “g,” and the numerals follow an oldstyle pattern with varying heights and alignments.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its contrast and traditional structure create an elegant text color. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal brand applications such as cultural institutions, publishing marks, and stationery.
The overall tone is classical and literary, combining a traditional page-like authority with a slightly calligraphic elegance. Its contrast and tapered finishing give it a refined, composed presence suited to polished, text-forward design.
The design appears intended as a contemporary take on classic serif book types, emphasizing refined contrast, crisp serifs, and subtly flared stroke endings to produce an authoritative yet graceful reading experience.
Spacing appears even and readable in paragraph settings, with a calm texture and strong baseline discipline. The sharpness of serifs and the contrast suggest best results at comfortable text sizes and above, where details remain clear.
