This serif face shows a traditional, vertically stressed structure with crisp hairlines and stronger main stems. Serifs are sharp and mostly unbracketed, with a slightly engraved, faceted feeling in places where curves resolve into angled terminals. Uppercase proportions feel fairly stately and compact, while the lowercase keeps a steady rhythm with a moderate x-height and clear ascender/descender reach. Numerals and capitals carry the same refined contrast and pointed finishing, giving the overall texture a bright, chiseled look on the page.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial, and magazine layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for refined headlines, pull quotes, and branding that benefits from a traditional, high-finish impression.
The overall tone is classical and authoritative, evoking bookish, editorial, and institutional settings. Its sharp finishing and clean contrast add a sense of ceremony and precision, reading as more formal than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic reading experience with heightened refinement: strong vertical stems, delicate connecting strokes, and crisp serifs that project sophistication. The added angularity in some curves suggests an aim for distinctive personality while staying within a formal, traditional serif framework.
The italics are not shown; the roman has a consistent vertical axis and relies on clean joins and pointed terminals rather than soft bracketing. In text, the strong contrast creates a lively sparkle, while the slightly angular curve handling adds character without becoming decorative.
