A high-contrast serif with a crisp, print-oriented texture and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are sharp and mostly bracketed, with tapered terminals that feel cut rather than blunt. Capitals show ample width and steady proportions, while curves (C, O, S) carry a clear calligraphic stress. Lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with open counters and relatively delicate hairlines; the double-storey a and g are traditional, and the f has a tall, elegant profile. Numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and descenders, reinforcing a bookish rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial design such as magazines, book interiors, and literary publishing where a classical serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines and pull quotes, where the sharp serifs and contrast can provide a dignified, high-end feel.
The overall tone is cultured and traditional, with a polished, editorial voice. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast convey formality and authority, while the slightly calligraphic movement in the curves adds refinement rather than austerity.
The design appears intended as a conventional, literature-forward serif that balances traditional forms with a crisp, contemporary finish. Emphasis is placed on elegant contrast, classic roman structures, and a readable text rhythm that scales comfortably into display settings.
Stroke transitions are brisk and clean, giving the face a bright, high-definition look at display sizes. The punctuation in the sample and the compact joins suggest careful attention to spacing and line rhythm, producing a confident, classical color across paragraphs.
