A high-contrast serif with bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic stroke modulation. The letterforms show crisp, tapered terminals and narrow joins that sharpen counters, while round characters (O, Q, o) keep an even, elegant curve with noticeably thinner hairlines. Capitals read stately and slightly expansive, with traditional proportions and clearly articulated serifs; lowercase is compact and steady, with a moderate x-height and clear differentiation between stems, bowls, and shoulders. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern, with open curves and fine terminals that feel consistent with the text face.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is desired, and it also performs convincingly for magazine layouts and formal communications. The contrast and sharp terminals give it presence for headlines, pull quotes, and titling, especially in print-oriented designs.
The overall tone is classical and literary, suggesting tradition and authority without feeling overly ornate. Its contrast and sharp finishing details add a refined, editorial polish that leans formal and composed rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a refined, high-contrast flavor—aiming for comfortable reading rhythm while providing enough sharp detail to feel polished in editorial and display settings.
In the text sample, the rhythm is smooth and continuous, with strong verticals establishing structure while hairlines add sparkle. The serifs remain restrained and bracketed, helping long lines hold together while still delivering a crisp, print-like character in larger sizes.
