A refined serif with clear contrast between thick verticals and hairline joins, and gently bracketed, subtly flared terminals that give strokes a shaped, calligraphic finish. Proportions are balanced and fairly traditional: capitals are stately with smooth curves, while the lowercase shows moderate modulation and open, readable counters. Details like the sharp apexes, tapered arms, and neatly tapered numerals create a crisp rhythm that stays controlled in continuous text.
This font is well suited to book typography, magazine layouts, and other editorial settings where a crisp, high-contrast serif can carry long-form reading with a polished texture. It also performs well for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from classical proportions and shaped terminals.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, conveying authority and polish without feeling overly ornate. Its high-contrast strokes and tapered finishing strokes add a sense of sophistication and literary seriousness suited to cultured, print-like typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-oriented serif voice with a touch of calligraphic shaping—pairing traditional forms with flared, tapered endings to increase elegance and presence in both display sizes and text.
The character set shown emphasizes traditional serif construction with clean curves and restrained ornament. Spacing appears even in the sample text, supporting a steady reading texture while preserving a slightly expressive, pen-informed energy in terminals and joins.
