A high-contrast serif with sharply bracketed, wedge-like serifs and distinctly sculpted joins. Stems are sturdy while hairlines stay fine and clean, creating a bright, lively texture in running text. The capitals feel stately and slightly compact, with crisp terminals and well-defined counters; the lowercase shows traditional book proportions with a moderate x-height and clear stroke modulation. Numerals follow the same contrasty, old-style-informed rhythm, with pointed terminals and tapered curves that keep the set cohesive.
Well suited for book typography and long-form editorial where classic contrast and traditional serif detailing are desired. It can also serve for magazine features, cultural publishing, and refined headlines or pull quotes that benefit from a crisp, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a formal, old-world polish that reads as serious and established. Its sharp serifs and crisp contrast add a hint of drama, making it feel at home in traditional editorial and institutional contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable text serif with elevated contrast and traditional detailing, aiming to evoke established print typography while retaining enough sharpness for confident display use.
In the sample text, the face maintains a consistent rhythm and strong baseline presence, with prominent vertical stress and lively curvature in letters like C, G, S, and Q. The pointed, calligraphic terminals and firm serifs give it a slightly engraved, display-friendly character while still looking suited to continuous reading.
