A high-contrast serif with sculpted, calligraphic modulation and bracketed wedge-like serifs. Curves are generous and slightly organic, while straight stems stay crisp, creating a lively thick–thin rhythm. The lowercase shows traditional text-face traits such as a two-storey a and g, a pointed, ear-like terminal on g, and a compact, sturdy structure in n and m. Numerals align with the same sharp contrast and serifed construction, with clear, classical forms.
Works well for long-form editorial typography and book-like settings where a classic serif texture is appropriate. It also fits magazines, institutional or heritage-flavored branding, and formal materials such as invitations or certificates, especially when set with comfortable leading to accommodate the contrast.
The tone is traditional and bookish, projecting refinement and authority without feeling cold. Its sharp contrast and tapered details read as cultured and editorial, suited to contexts where a classic voice is desired.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif voice with pronounced contrast and crisp detailing, balancing traditional proportions with a clean, contemporary rendering for readable text and strong headlines.
Stroke endings frequently taper into small wedges, and interior counters remain open enough to keep letters distinct at text sizes. The overall texture is rhythmic and slightly energetic, with noticeable contrast giving words a crisp sparkle on the page.
