This is a high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed wedge serifs and a distinctly calligraphic stress. Curves are smooth and slightly swelling, with pointed terminals on letters like C, J, and S and pronounced ball-like joins in places such as the two-storey g. The capitals are proportionally dignified with sharp apexes and flared feet, while the lowercase shows a traditional text-face structure (double-storey a, two-storey g, compact e with a strong eye). Numerals follow the same contrast model, with elegant, tapered strokes and a slightly varied rhythm across figures.
Well-suited to long-form editorial and book settings where a traditional serif voice is desired, as well as headings for cultural or academic materials. It can also work for formal branding and invitation-style typography where a refined, classical texture is beneficial.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography and editorial polish. Its sharp terminals and lively contrast add a touch of drama and sophistication without becoming ornate or overly embellished.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional, high-contrast serif voice with a calligraphic feel—balancing classic readability with sharper, more expressive terminals for a slightly decorative edge in display sizes.
In continuous text, the strong contrast and pointed serifs create a bright, sparkling texture and a distinctly formal cadence. The italic is not shown, so the impression comes entirely from the upright roman shapes and their calligraphic modulation.
