A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered serifs and clearly bracketed joins that give strokes a carved, crisp finish. Upright capitals are stately and wide-shouldered, while the lowercase shows a traditional book-face rhythm with moderate x-height, compact apertures, and pronounced stroke modulation. Terminals frequently end in pointed or beaked forms (notably on letters like c, e, f, and r), and the numerals follow oldstyle proportions with strong thick–thin alternation and rounded bowls.
Well-suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and other long-form reading contexts where a classical serif texture is desired. It also performs convincingly in headlines and formal materials—such as invitations, certificates, and heritage-leaning branding—where its sharp detailing can read as premium and traditional.
The overall tone is classic and formal, with a distinctly literary, editorial presence. Its sharp serifs and calligraphic modulation convey refinement and authority, suggesting tradition rather than neutrality or minimalism.
The design appears intended as a conventional, book-oriented serif that prioritizes classical proportions and calligraphic contrast for a refined reading texture. Its pointed serifing and lively modulation suggest an aim to evoke historical, print-rooted typography while remaining clean and usable in contemporary layout.
In the text sample, the contrast and pointed detailing remain clear at display sizes, producing a lively texture with strong vertical emphasis. Curved letters (O, C, G, Q) show controlled, elegant shaping, and the face maintains consistent, crisp serif treatment across both uppercase and lowercase.
