A high-contrast serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a distinctly calligraphic modulation. Strokes transition from thick verticals to fine hairlines, giving capitals a stately, carved feel and lowercase a flowing, bookish rhythm. The proportions are balanced and conventional, with moderate ascenders/descenders and compact, readable counters; curves and joins are clean and slightly soft due to bracketing rather than abrupt slab terminals. Numerals and punctuation match the serifed, contrasty construction, maintaining a consistent texture in text.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial settings where a familiar serif voice and refined contrast are desirable. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and formal brand typography that benefits from a classic, authoritative presence.
The overall tone is classic and serious, evoking traditional print typography and editorial polish. Its strong contrast and sharp finishing details communicate authority and refinement, leaning more literary than playful.
The type appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances readability with a polished, traditional character. Its contrast and bracketed serif construction suggest an aim toward classic print sensibilities while retaining enough structure for clear display use.
The design maintains a steady vertical emphasis with clear differentiation between straight stems and tapered curves, producing a crisp line in headings while still holding together as continuous text. Terminals tend to end in small wedges or fine serifs rather than blunt cuts, reinforcing an elegant, conventional voice.
