This is a high-contrast serif with sharp, bracketed wedge serifs and a crisp, polished drawing. Strokes move from very thin hairlines to strong verticals, with pointed terminals and clean joins that keep the texture bright. Proportions feel traditional and balanced: capitals are stately and moderately wide, while lowercase forms show a classic book-face rhythm with compact bowls and controlled apertures. Numerals and punctuation match the same contrast and finishing, giving a consistent, print-oriented color at text sizes and a striking sparkle when enlarged.
It suits long-form editorial typography such as books, essays, and magazine features where a traditional serif voice is desired. The strong contrast also makes it effective for display use—headlines, chapter openers, pull quotes, and refined invitations—where its sharp detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is formal and cultivated, projecting authority and tradition without feeling heavy. Its strong contrast and sharp finishing add a sense of elegance and ceremony, making it feel at home in literary and institutional contexts. The impression is composed and editorial—more “published” than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif with elevated contrast and carefully finished serifs, aiming to deliver a classic publishing feel. It balances conservative proportions with crisp detailing to work both as a dependable text face and as an elegant display option when set larger.
In running text the tight hairlines and pointed serifs create a lively shimmer, with clear vertical emphasis and tidy spacing that supports a steady line rhythm. Several glyphs show subtly calligraphic modulation (especially in curves and diagonal connections), reinforcing a classic, bookish character.
