This is a high-contrast serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and a noticeably calligraphic modulation through curved strokes. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow in feel, with crisp triangular finishing and pointed joins that give counters a clean, carved look. The lowercase shows compact, rounded bowls and relatively tight apertures, with a two-storey a and g and small, neat ear and terminal details. Overall rhythm is even and text-like, with clear baseline alignment and controlled proportions that favor readability while maintaining a polished, dressy silhouette.
It suits long-form reading in books and essays, as well as magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. The strong contrast and sharp serifs also perform well for display roles such as section headers, pull quotes, formal stationery, and event materials.
The tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and classic editorial design. Its sharp finishing and strong contrast add a sense of refinement and authority, reading as formal without feeling ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-oriented serif with a refined, high-contrast voice—aimed at producing an elegant page color and a distinctly classical impression in both continuous text and prominent headings.
Diagonal forms (like V, W, Y, and the numerals) emphasize the contrast and produce a crisp, sparkling texture at larger sizes. The figures appear lining and proportionally consistent with the capitals, supporting mixed settings such as headings with dates or reference numbers.
