A high-contrast serif with sharply bracketed, slightly wedge-like serifs and a crisp, calligraphic modulation. Curves show a noticeable diagonal stress, with thin hairlines and robust stems creating a lively, engraved-like rhythm. The lowercase balances compact bowls with tapered terminals (notably in a, c, e, s), while the uppercase feels statuesque and controlled, with clean joins and disciplined proportions. Figures are traditional and clear, with strong verticals and delicate connecting strokes that reinforce the overall contrast.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a classic serif voice is desired. The strong contrast and crisp terminals also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications, as well as formal materials like invitations and programs.
The face conveys a classic, bookish tone with an authoritative, old-style elegance. Its sharp finishing details and pronounced contrast read as refined and slightly dramatic, lending a sense of tradition and ceremony without becoming overly ornate.
Designed to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with heightened contrast and crisp finishing, combining an old-style, calligraphic backbone with a more polished, display-friendly sharpness. The overall construction suggests an intent to feel literary and authoritative while maintaining strong visual character in prominent settings.
In text, the font produces a pronounced light–dark texture: thick verticals dominate while hairlines and serifs add sparkle. The pointed terminals and tight apertures in several letters contribute to a slightly assertive, editorial presence, especially at larger sizes where the contrast and terminal shapes are most apparent.
