A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered serifs and a smooth, calligraphic modulation between thick and thin strokes. The capitals are proportioned with a traditional, inscriptional feel, featuring confident curves and crisp terminals, while the lowercase maintains clear counters and a steady rhythm suited to continuous reading. Serifs are generally bracketed and pointed rather than blocky, and joins are clean, giving the face a polished, print-oriented texture. Figures align with the text style, with moderate contrast and clear differentiation, matching the overall refined construction.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine text where a refined serif texture is desired. It can also perform effectively in formal headings, pull quotes, and identity work that aims for tradition and authority, especially when paired with generous margins and comfortable line spacing.
The font conveys a classic, formal tone associated with traditional publishing and editorial typography. Its crisp contrast and elegant serifs suggest seriousness and credibility, with a slightly old-style warmth that feels established rather than modernist. Overall it reads as composed and dignified, suitable for content that benefits from a literary or institutional voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that prioritizes readability while projecting a classic, cultivated voice.

In the sample text, spacing and color produce a balanced, even paragraph tone, with contrast becoming more pronounced at larger sizes. Distinctive details like the curved tail on the uppercase Q and the traditional, two-storey-style structure in several lowercase forms reinforce a conventional text-serif character with a subtly calligraphic edge.
