A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered terminals and finely bracketed serifs that give the outlines a crisp, engraved feel. Curves are smooth and slightly oval, with a steady vertical stress and a disciplined, even rhythm across words. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase shows compact, sculpted forms with clear entry/exit strokes and a traditional double-storey structure where expected. Numerals follow the same model, mixing sturdy verticals with delicate hairlines for a cohesive text-and-display texture.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial settings, and it also performs confidently in headlines, pull quotes, and section openers where its contrast and sharp terminals can add authority. It fits formal communication such as invitations or programs, and works nicely for refined branding when used at comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, leaning toward traditional book typography and formal publishing. Its contrast and sharp finishing details add a sense of refinement and ceremony, while the steady spacing keeps it composed rather than flamboyant.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-oriented serif that balances readability with a polished, classical finish. Its proportions and detailing suggest an aim toward timeless, literary typography with enough contrast to carry both text and prominent titling.
In the text sample, the strong thick–thin transitions create a lively sparkle at larger sizes, especially around round letters and diagonals. Hairlines and thin joins become the most delicate features, so the face reads best where those details can remain clean and uninterrupted.
