A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation that reads as calligraphically informed. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, while joins and terminals stay crisp, giving a clean, polished rhythm. Capitals are stately with balanced proportions; the lowercase maintains a steady text color with compact, well-contained counters and a moderate x-height. Numerals follow the same contrast and tapering, with clear, traditional forms and lively diagonals.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly in display sizes for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal print pieces such as invitations and programs.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking book typography and traditional print craft. Its contrast and sharp finishing details add a sense of refinement and formality, making the texture feel composed rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-oriented serif that balances readability with a refined, high-contrast character. Its tapered serifs and controlled modulation aim to deliver a classic, authoritative tone without becoming overly decorative.
The face keeps a consistent, disciplined serif treatment across caps, lowercase, and figures, with lively diagonals (notably in V/W/X) and a distinctive Q featuring a sweeping tail. In paragraph setting, spacing appears even and the contrast remains controlled, preserving legibility while still feeling elegant.
