A conventional serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes show a calligraphic influence with tapered terminals, clean joins, and a steady baseline rhythm. Capitals are stately and relatively narrow in feel, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and open counters for comfortable text flow. Figures are lining with clear, traditional proportions and distinct shapes.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is desired, and it also performs convincingly for headlines, pull quotes, and section titles. The crisp contrast and refined serifs make it a good fit for cultural, academic, and formal communications such as programs and invitations.
The overall tone is classic and formal, with a literary, bookish character. Its high-contrast detailing and sharp finishing convey refinement and authority, suited to established editorial and institutional settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances readability with an elevated, classical finish. Its disciplined proportions and high-contrast detailing suggest an aim toward authoritative, print-forward typography that can move between text and display roles.
Serifs are finely cut and consistent, giving text a crisp texture at display sizes while retaining a traditional page color in paragraphs. Round letters like C/O/Q show smooth curves and a polished, slightly calligraphic stress, contributing to an elegant, composed presence.
