A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a lively, calligraphic stress. Strokes transition sharply from thick verticals to fine hairlines, with tapered terminals and subtly flared joins that give the letters a sculpted, ink-on-paper feel. Proportions are classical and bookish, with relatively generous counters and a steady rhythm in text; capitals are dignified and upright, while the lowercase shows elegant modulation (notably in curves like a, e, g, and s). Numerals follow the same contrasty, old-style inspired drawing, with refined curves and fine finishing details.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, literary journals, and editorial layouts where a refined serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and formal printed materials that benefit from high-contrast elegance.
The overall tone is polished and cultured, evoking traditional publishing and classical typography. It reads as confident and formal without becoming overly ornate, balancing authority with a hint of warmth from its calligraphic shaping.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a refined, high-contrast voice—aiming for classical readability and an editorial, print-oriented finish. Its restrained detailing suggests a focus on timelessness and typographic credibility rather than display eccentricity.
Fine hairlines and sharp serifs create a delicate sparkle at larger sizes, while the strong verticals keep paragraphs from feeling weak or overly light. The italic is not shown, but the roman demonstrates consistent contrast and careful spacing in continuous text.
