A classic serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes show pronounced contrast between thick verticals and finer hairlines, with tapered terminals and subtly modulated curves. Proportions feel traditional and book-oriented: generous capitals, moderate lowercase with clear ascender/descender reach, and open counters that keep texture even in paragraphs. The figures align with the same high-contrast rhythm, with lining-style numerals that read cleanly alongside uppercase.
Well suited to long-form reading environments such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also works for formal headings, pull quotes, and institutional materials that benefit from a credible, classic typographic voice.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a refined, editorial presence. Its crisp serifs and lively stroke modulation evoke established print typography—measured, cultured, and slightly ceremonial without feeling decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional, book-centered serif that balances elegance with readability. Its high-contrast modulation and carefully bracketed serifs suggest an aim to deliver a familiar literary tone while preserving clarity and consistent paragraph color.
In text, the font maintains a steady vertical rhythm and a crisp baseline, while details like the angled stress in rounded letters and the slightly flared joins add warmth and movement. The lowercase shows clear differentiation between similar shapes, supporting comfortable reading at typical text sizes.
