A high-contrast serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and a distinctly calligraphic stress. Strokes move from fine hairlines to strong verticals with clean, crisp terminals and modestly tapered joins. Proportions feel traditional and text-oriented, with compact lowercase forms and a small x-height that emphasizes ascenders and descenders. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the overall rhythm is even, giving paragraphs a structured, polished texture.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and magazine articles where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also serve effectively for formal headings and pull quotes, pairing a refined voice with clear structure in print-like compositions.
The face conveys a classic, literary tone—measured, dignified, and slightly academic. Its sharp details and strong contrast add a sense of refinement and authority, suited to editorial and bookish contexts rather than casual or playful use.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable text serif that leans on historical Roman models and calligraphic contrast. Its aim is to deliver an elegant, authoritative page color with crisp serif detailing and a composed, traditional rhythm.
Uppercase forms present a formal, Roman sensibility with steady vertical emphasis, while lowercase shapes keep a restrained, traditional model. Numerals and punctuation follow the same crisp contrast and serif detailing, supporting a consistent reading color in continuous text.
