A crisp, high-contrast serif with bracketed serifs and a distinctly calligraphic modulation. Strokes shift quickly from thick to hairline, with sharp, clean terminals and confident vertical stress that gives capitals a stately, engraved feel. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are moderately open, and spacing reads even in text while still showing lively rhythm in alternating thick/thin strokes. Numerals and lowercase share the same polished contrast and slightly sculpted, tapered details, helping the design feel cohesive across glyphs.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, and long-form layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand applications that benefit from high-contrast elegance, including invitations and formal stationery.
The overall tone is classic and editorial—polished, authoritative, and a bit dramatic through its contrast and crisp hairlines. It conveys a traditional, bookish refinement suited to more formal or literary settings, with enough sharpness to feel contemporary when used large.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with elevated contrast and a subtly calligraphic finish, balancing readability with a more sophisticated, print-classic character for editorial and headline use.
In display sizes, the hairlines and pointed joins read especially crisp, giving headlines a sharp, sophisticated presence. In longer text, the strong contrast and narrow hairlines create a refined texture that favors good reproduction and comfortable leading.
