A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed wedge serifs and a clear stress axis that reads as calligraphic but controlled. Curves are generous and open (notably in C, O, and S), while joins and terminals stay sharp, producing a clean, authoritative texture. Capitals feel stately and slightly expansive, with strong verticals and neatly tapered diagonals; the lowercase maintains steady rhythm with tidy, compact detailing in a, e, and r. Numerals are lining and similarly high-contrast, with elegant curves and fine hairlines that match the text color.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice and strong typographic hierarchy are desired. It also performs well for headlines, pull quotes, and section openers, where the high contrast and sharp serifs can add sophistication and presence.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and established print voices. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast lend a sense of seriousness and polish, suitable for formal communication rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, book-oriented serif with elevated contrast and crisp detailing—aiming for clarity and elegance in continuous text while retaining enough character for prominent editorial typography.
At display and text sizes the contrast creates a lively sparkle, especially in words with many verticals, while the wedge serifs add firmness to the baseline. The glyphs appear carefully balanced with consistent stroke modulation across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, supporting a cohesive page color.
