A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines and fuller verticals, showing a distinctly calligraphic modulation throughout. Serifs are bracketed and tapered, with small wedge-like terminals and a clean, slightly sculpted feel rather than blunt endings. Proportions lean classical: capitals are stately and evenly paced, while the lowercase keeps a moderate x-height with open counters and smooth, controlled curves. The overall rhythm is steady and text-oriented, with sharp joins and lively stroke endings that add subtle sparkle in larger sizes.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where high-contrast serifs add sophistication and hierarchy. It also performs nicely for display-inflected text such as pull quotes, headings, and formal printed materials when set with adequate size and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The font reads as classic and refined, evoking a literary, editorial tone. Its elegant contrast and delicate details suggest formality and tradition without becoming overly ornate, making it feel composed and authoritative.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-forward serif that balances readability with a polished, traditional elegance. Its controlled contrast and bracketed serifs aim to deliver a familiar literary voice while adding a touch of typographic refinement for editorial use.
Several glyphs feature distinctive, slightly flared terminals and gently curved entry/exit strokes that reinforce the calligraphic influence. Numerals appear lining and similarly modulated, matching the text face’s contrast and giving figures a dignified, print-like presence.
