A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed wedge serifs and a distinctly calligraphic modulation. Curves are full and smooth, while joins and terminals stay sharp and controlled, giving the letters a clean engraved feel. Proportions lean traditional with moderate x-height and clear, open counters; lowercase forms like a, e, and g read as text-oriented rather than display eccentric. Numerals and capitals share the same formal rhythm, with strong vertical stress and confident, slightly tapered stems.
Works well for book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine settings where a classic serif voice is desired. It also suits refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal collateral such as invitations or announcements, especially when set with generous leading and comfortable measure.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting refinement and authority without feeling ornate. It carries a familiar book-typography presence—formal, composed, and slightly editorial—suited to settings where tradition and clarity are part of the message.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances readability with a polished, traditional tone. It aims to deliver a familiar publishing aesthetic with enough sharpness and contrast to feel premium in display sizes.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and sharp serifs produce a lively texture at larger sizes, while the restrained shapes keep paragraphs disciplined and even. Round letters (C, O, Q) and diagonals (V, W, X) retain clean edges, helping the design feel crisp and deliberate.
