A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed terminals and a decidedly calligraphic stress. The letterforms show moderate-to-wide proportions, with sturdy verticals and fine hairlines that sharpen into wedge-like serifs and pointed joins. Curves are smooth but taut, giving bowls and shoulders a slightly sculpted feel; diagonals and arms finish cleanly with small, refined serifs. Overall spacing reads open and even, supporting a steady text rhythm while retaining a polished, display-friendly bite in larger sizes.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its strong vertical rhythm and clear serifs help guide the eye. It also performs convincingly in headings, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural branding that benefits from a traditional, polished serif presence.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—confident and formal without feeling ornamental. Its sharp hairlines and refined serifs create an authoritative, editorial voice suited to traditional publishing aesthetics.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and a sharpened, contemporary finish—aiming to deliver dependable readability while projecting a refined, authoritative character.
Uppercase forms appear stately and well-balanced, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation and a conventional, readable skeleton. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, integrating smoothly with running text.
