A high-contrast serif with sharp hairlines and weighty vertical stems, showing a clear translation from broad-nib/calligraphic logic into a crisp print style. Serifs are finely bracketed and often wedge-like, with pointed terminals on diagonals and a generally clean, upright stance. Proportions read slightly expansive, and the lowercase shows a traditional book-face structure with a double-storey “g,” a compact ear on “g,” and a sturdy, rounded “a,” maintaining a steady rhythm across word shapes. Numerals match the text style with strong thick–thin modulation and crisp finishing details.
Works well for book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine features where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve for headlines, pull quotes, and formal collateral such as invitations or programs, especially when the goal is an elevated, traditional impression.
The tone is classic and editorial, projecting seriousness and polish rather than informality. Its sharp contrast and crisp detailing give it a composed, institutional feel suited to cultivated, literary settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances familiar, bookish letterforms with crisp, elegant detailing. It aims to deliver a refined, authoritative voice that holds up in editorial composition while remaining expressive enough for display use.
In continuous text the strong contrast creates a bright, textured page color with pronounced vertical emphasis. The capitals have a dignified, inscriptional presence, while the lowercase keeps readable, traditional forms that support extended reading when set with comfortable size and spacing.
