A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed wedge serifs and a noticeably calligraphic stress that shows through in bowls and curved strokes. Capitals are stately and moderately wide with strong verticals and clean, tapered terminals, while lowercase forms keep a traditional rhythm with clear serifs and compact joins. Curves are smooth and slightly sculpted, and several strokes end in pointed, triangular terminals that add snap without becoming decorative. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, reading as classic lining figures with a firm baseline and elegant tapers.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and literary branding where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and titling, where the contrast and sharp serifs create a premium, attention-getting presence. For identity systems, it can communicate tradition and credibility in logotypes and wordmarks.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, evoking book typography and established editorial design. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast lend a sense of authority and ceremony, while the calligraphic modulation keeps it from feeling mechanical. The result is confident and cultivated rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, time-tested serif palette with heightened contrast and crisp, wedge-like serifs for added elegance. It aims for readability and a familiar typographic color, while incorporating sharp terminals and refined modulation to feel more contemporary and punchy in display use.
In the text sample, the font maintains a steady texture at larger sizes, with pronounced thick–thin transitions and clean counters that keep words recognizable. The sharpness of serifs and terminals suggests it will look especially striking in display sizes, where the sculpted details are most visible.
