A high-contrast text face with crisp, sculpted strokes and gently bracketed joins that echo broad-nib construction. The capitals are stately and open, with wide bowls and clean interior counters, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and compact, readable forms. Terminals are mostly sharp and tapering rather than blunt, and curves show pronounced thick–thin modulation, especially in C, S, O, and the numerals. Overall spacing reads even and bookish, with a steady rhythm that stays clear in continuous text.
Well suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where a polished, traditional voice is desirable. It also works for branding and display headlines that benefit from crisp contrast, and for pull quotes or section titles that need a refined presence without becoming overly ornate.
The font conveys a classic, cultured tone—more literary and editorial than casual. Its contrast and sharp terminals add a sense of refinement and authority, while the restrained proportions keep it practical for reading.
The design appears intended to offer a refined, readable serif with pronounced contrast and a traditional typographic color, balancing a display-worthy sharpness with the discipline needed for continuous text.
The sample text shows strong definition at larger sizes, where the contrast and bracketing become a key part of the character. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic, with elegant curves and tapered strokes that suit typographic settings alongside the letterforms.
