A high-contrast serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and a distinctly calligraphic modulation. Capitals are stately and open, with sharp, well-defined serifs and tapered joins; round forms stay clean and controlled. The lowercase shows a compact x-height with generous ascenders and descenders, adding vertical elegance and a slightly variable, lively rhythm across letters. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, with traditional proportions and clear, readable shapes.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for headings and pull quotes when a formal, literary character is appropriate.
The font reads as classic and bookish, with a refined, editorial tone. Its sharp serifs and elegant contrast suggest tradition and authority, while the lively stroke modulation keeps it from feeling sterile.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that emphasizes classical proportions and crisp, high-contrast detailing. It aims to provide a cultured, authoritative voice while maintaining a readable, steady text rhythm.
Spacing in the sample text appears comfortable for reading, and the design maintains consistent contrast and serif behavior across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright.
