This serif face shows pronounced stroke contrast with a clear calligraphic stress and bracketed serifs throughout. Capitals are tall and relatively narrow with sharp, tapered finishing and a steady vertical rhythm, while the lowercase keeps a short x-height with open counters and compact proportions. Curves and joins are clean and controlled, with slightly cupped serifs and crisp, tapered terminals that give strokes a sculpted, engraved feel. Numerals appear oldstyle in color and movement, with varied heights that integrate naturally into text.
It is well suited to book interiors, long-form editorial, and magazine typography where a classic serif texture is desired. The refined contrast and sculpted serifs also make it a strong choice for formal stationery, invitations, and high-end branding when used at comfortable text or display sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, conveying authority and restraint rather than exuberance. Its high-contrast modeling and dignified proportions lean toward a refined, institutional voice suitable for serious reading and cultured presentation.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literary serif voice with heightened contrast and polished detailing, balancing readability with a traditional, elegant presence.
In continuous text the face maintains an even, dark typographic color, with strong verticals and lively thin strokes that add sparkle at larger sizes. The combination of large capitals and a short x-height increases the sense of formality, and the figures contribute a classic, text-oriented character.
