A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a distinctly calligraphic modulation. Strokes taper into sharp terminals, with slightly cupped serifs on many capitals and a clean, upright axis. Proportions feel moderately narrow with compact counters, and the lowercase shows a traditional serif construction (two-storey “a,” single-storey “g,” and a sturdy, footed “l”). Numerals are lining with clear contrast and classic shapes, including an open-top “4” and a round, even “8.”
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where sharp serifs and contrast help create a polished page color. It can also serve for headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from a traditional, authoritative serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking book typography and traditional editorial design. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast add a formal, slightly dramatic presence suited to refined communication rather than casual interfaces.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances readability with a refined, classical surface. Its proportions and clear detailing suggest a focus on elegant setting for literature and editorial typography, while retaining enough bite for prominent titles.
At text sizes the rhythm is steady and compact, with strong vertical stress and defined joins that keep letters crisp. The italic is not shown; the displayed style reads as a Roman intended to carry continuous text while still offering enough sparkle for display lines.
