A high-contrast serif with sharp, bracketed wedge serifs and a subtly calligraphic stroke logic. The letterforms show noticeable modulation with fine hairlines and stronger verticals, producing a crisp, etched texture at display sizes. Proportions lean slightly condensed in places with lively, varied widths across the alphabet, and the curves (notably in C, G, S, and e) have a gently tapered, flared finishing. Numerals are similarly modulated, with oldstyle-like movement in the curves and clear, pointed terminals.
Well-suited to book typography and editorial layouts where a classic, high-contrast serif texture is desired. It can carry headlines and subheads effectively, especially in magazines, cultural institutions, and literary branding, and it will also work for pull quotes and short-form reading where its sharp detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a refined, slightly dramatic flavor that reads as editorial and book-centered. Its sharp serifs and energetic modulation give it a confident, cultured voice—more classic than neutral, and more expressive than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with heightened contrast and sharper, more characterful finishing. It aims for a traditional reading voice while adding a touch of display-like refinement through tapered terminals and pronounced serif shaping.
Capitals feel stately with strong vertical presence, while lowercase maintains a readable rhythm through open counters and clear joins. The italic is not shown; the upright roman carries the personality through tapered terminals and a slightly lively baseline behavior in round letters. At larger sizes the hairlines and pointed serifs become a defining detail, contributing to a crisp, engraved impression.
