This serif has crisp, bracketed serifs and a distinctly calligraphic modulation, with slender hairlines and stronger vertical stems creating a lively, high-contrast texture. Proportions are balanced and moderately narrow, with round forms (C, O, Q) kept open and even, and capitals carrying a composed, bookish stance. The lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with a modest x-height, clear counters, and neatly tapered terminals; the italic is not shown, and the roman keeps a steady, upright axis. Numerals appear lining, with elegant curves and fine joins that match the text weight and contrast.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It can also serve for magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications where crisp contrast and classic proportions help convey authority.
The overall tone is classic and composed, leaning toward an editorial, literary feel rather than a neutral utilitarian one. Its contrast and sharp finishing details give it a refined, slightly ceremonial presence suitable for polished typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that references classical print typography while maintaining clean, contemporary regularity. It prioritizes steady rhythm and readability with enough contrast and detail to feel distinguished in editorial use.
In paragraph setting, the face produces a smooth, readable color while still showing pronounced sparkle from hairlines and serifs. The ampersand and punctuation echo the same crisp detailing, helping display text feel cohesive and traditionally typeset.
