A conventional serif with pronounced stroke contrast and bracketed wedge serifs. The letterforms show a calligraphic backbone: curved joins, tapered terminals, and gently modulated strokes that give an engraved, book-face texture. Proportions are moderately narrow with clear differentiation between straight and rounded forms; the capitals feel stately and stable, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with compact counters and measured spacing. Numerals align with the same high-contrast logic and traditional serif detailing, keeping the overall color consistent in text.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and other print-forward settings where a classic serif voice is expected. It can also serve effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding, especially when a refined, traditional tone is desired.
The font reads as traditional and composed, projecting a scholarly, editorial tone. Its contrast and sharp serif details add a sense of refinement and seriousness, suited to content that aims to feel established and trustworthy rather than casual or playful.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and a timeless, literary character. Its high-contrast modulation and bracketed serifs aim to evoke established book typography while remaining crisp and orderly in modern composition.
Stroke modulation is especially evident in rounds (C, O, Q) and in diagonals (V, W, X), where hairlines thin noticeably against stronger verticals. The lowercase shows clear, familiar shapes with firm serifs and restrained terminals, supporting continuous reading while retaining a distinctly classical flavor.
