A crisp old-style serif with pronounced stroke contrast and bracketed serifs that taper into sharp, slightly calligraphic terminals. The capitals show classical proportions with flaring strokes and carefully shaped curves, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with compact apertures and a gently modulated baseline. Curves are smooth and confident, counters are moderately open, and overall spacing reads even, giving text a composed, bookish color. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant joins and clear differentiation between forms.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly for literary titling, formal announcements, and printed materials that benefit from a traditional, high-contrast texture.
The font conveys a traditional, literary tone—measured, polished, and quietly authoritative. Its sharp finishing details and strong contrast lend a sense of refinement that feels suited to established editorial conventions rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended to offer a conventional, readable serif voice with a distinctly classical finish—balancing a steady text rhythm with elegant contrast and sharply articulated serifs for a refined presence in print-like typography.
In the sample text, the high contrast and tapered serifs become more prominent at larger sizes, producing a stately texture with distinct letterforms and clear word shapes. Diacritical dots and punctuation appear clean and neatly aligned, reinforcing the overall sense of typographic discipline.
