A high-contrast serif with a predominantly vertical axis, crisp hairlines, and sturdier main stems. Serifs are finely bracketed with sharp, tapered endings, giving counters a clean, carved feel. Proportions read as traditional and text-oriented, with moderate x-height, compact bowls, and disciplined spacing that produces an even rhythm in paragraphs. Uppercase forms are stately and balanced, while the lowercase shows calligraphic influence in letters like a, g, and y, with delicate joins and tidy apertures.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography, especially in print-oriented layouts where contrast and serif detail can be appreciated. It also works effectively for literary or cultural titles, pull quotes, and formal communications such as programs and invitations.
The overall tone is classical and literary, projecting a sense of formality and editorial authority. Its sharp detailing and high contrast add refinement and a slightly ceremonial character, suitable for settings where tradition and credibility are desired.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances readability with a refined, traditional voice. Its controlled modulation and crisp serif finishing suggest an emphasis on classic typographic color and an editorial, book-centered use.
In the grid, the numerals and capitals maintain consistent stroke logic and contrast, and the curved letters (C, G, O, Q) show smooth modulation rather than mechanical geometry. In the text sample, the type holds together well at larger sizes, where the hairlines and bracketed serifs become a defining visual feature.
