A high-contrast serif design with a wide stance and clear calligraphic modulation. Strokes transition sharply from thick verticals to thin hairlines, with bracketed serifs and tapered terminals that keep the silhouettes crisp. Round letters show a slightly stressed, elliptical feel, while apertures and counters remain open for readability. The lowercase is compact and steady with a traditional rhythm, and the numerals read as oldstyle (text) figures with varying heights and pronounced stroke contrast.
Well-suited to book and magazine typography, especially for display sizes and comfortable text settings where contrast can shine. It also fits formal branding, invitations, and packaging that benefit from a classic, premium voice.
The overall tone is editorial and traditional, conveying refinement and authority. Its sharp contrast and classic proportions suggest a literary, institutional mood rather than a casual or utilitarian one.
The font appears intended as a contemporary take on a classic high-contrast text/display serif, aiming for a refined reading rhythm with enough sharpness to perform in prominent editorial headlines and titles.
The design balances strong vertical emphasis with delicate connecting strokes, giving it a polished page-color in paragraphs. Curves (notably in C, G, S, and e) feel carefully drawn and slightly calligraphic, while joins in letters like m and n stay firm and upright.
