A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a traditional, slightly calligraphic construction: tapered terminals, sharp joins, and elegant curves with controlled, narrow apertures in places. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned with strong vertical stress, while lowercase forms keep a readable, text-oriented rhythm; ascenders feel relatively tall and the serifs remain consistent across stems and diagonals. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with clear counters and delicate terminals that match the text color.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs well for display use—section heads, magazine titles, formal announcements, and refined branding—where its contrast and sharp serifs can be showcased.
The overall tone is classical and polished, evoking book typography and established editorial design. Its contrast and sharp detailing give it a confident, authoritative presence that reads as traditional and cultured rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional, elegant text serif that balances readability with a more refined, high-contrast finish. Its construction prioritizes traditional proportions, consistent serif logic, and a formal typographic color appropriate for print-centric settings.
In the text sample, the font builds a strong, dark line with distinct word shapes, aided by clear serifs and stable upright posture. The thin strokes and fine serifs add sophistication but may require sufficient size or quality reproduction to preserve the delicate details.
