A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a traditional, calligraphic stress. Stems are sturdy while hairlines taper cleanly into sharp terminals, creating a polished light–dark rhythm. Proportions lean classical with moderate x-height, fairly compact lowercase, and clear, open counters that keep the texture even in paragraph settings. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and a distinctive, gently tapered drawing that matches the text color.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. The contrast and crisp detailing also make it effective for pull quotes, section heads, and formal printed materials like programs or invitations, especially when set with generous leading.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, with a composed, authoritative feel. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast add a sense of refinement and ceremony, lending text a deliberate, editorial voice rather than a casual one.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly legible serif for literary and editorial typography, emphasizing traditional proportions, elegant contrast, and a composed reading rhythm.
The sample text shows steady baseline behavior and consistent spacing, producing a smooth, readable typographic “gray” at larger and text-friendly sizes. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly wide-set, while the lowercase maintains a traditional, text-face cadence with pronounced modulation in curves and joins.
