A high-contrast serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a lively, calligraphic modulation through curves and joins. Capitals feel stately and slightly narrow, with crisp terminals and pronounced thick–thin transitions, while the lowercase shows a traditional text rhythm with round counters and tapered strokes. The italics are not shown; the overall posture is upright, with elegant hairlines and strong verticals that create a clear, structured texture in paragraph settings.
It performs best in book typography and editorial layouts where high contrast and classic serif forms enhance readability and tone. The design also suits display use for headlines, pull quotes, and titling that benefits from a traditional, polished voice.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone with a refined, editorial character. Its sharp serifs and elegant contrast read as formal and authoritative, suited to traditional publishing and institutional contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif with a slightly calligraphic edge, balancing familiar book proportions with sharper, more expressive terminals. It aims to provide a dignified reading texture while offering enough distinctive letterform flavor for prominent editorial typography.
Distinctive details include a swashy, slightly extended tail on the Q and a curved, tapered leg on the R, adding a touch of personality without breaking the conventional text-serif feel. Numerals are proportional and high-contrast, matching the letterforms with crisp joins and fine hairlines.
