This serif typeface presents a high-contrast construction with sturdy vertical stems and very fine hairlines that taper into sharp, bracketed serifs. Curves show a predominantly vertical stress, and the joins are crisp, producing a clean, polished rhythm across both capitals and lowercase. Proportions feel relatively narrow and tall in the capitals, while the lowercase keeps a compact x-height with clear ascenders and descenders, giving the text a distinctly bookish silhouette. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with thin entry strokes and strong main strokes that read as poised rather than heavy.
It is well suited to editorial typography—book interiors, magazine features, and formal communications where a classic serif voice is desired. The high contrast also makes it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and titling where its crisp hairlines and sharp serifs can add sophistication.
The overall tone is sophisticated and traditional, with a distinctly editorial, high-end feel. The sharp hairlines and controlled forms suggest formality and precision, lending an authoritative, literary voice that suits classic, refined communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif with heightened refinement—combining traditional proportions with pronounced contrast to create an elegant page texture and a premium, print-forward impression.
Uppercase forms are stately and sculpted, with pointed apexes and finely cut terminals that emphasize a calligraphic heritage without becoming decorative. In text, the contrast creates a lively shimmer, and the compact lowercase proportions reinforce a dignified, old-style reading color.
