A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation, crisp hairlines, and delicately bracketed wedge serifs. The letterforms show a calm, traditional rhythm with moderate proportions and open counters, while curves transition smoothly into stems. Uppercase forms feel stately and balanced; lowercase maintains a readable, bookish color with a gently calligraphic stress. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures), integrating smoothly with lowercase and reinforcing an editorial tone.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional, high-contrast serif can provide a clear, upscale texture. It also performs nicely for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal printed materials such as programs or invitations, especially at medium to large sizes where hairline details can shine.
The overall tone is classical and composed, leaning toward literary sophistication rather than display theatrics. It conveys elegance and authority, with a quiet, cultivated feel suited to traditional publishing and institutional communications.
The design appears intended as a conventional, literary text serif that balances readability with a distinctly elegant, high-contrast finish. Its oldstyle numerals and carefully shaped serifs suggest a focus on continuous text and typographic tradition rather than modernist neutrality.
Details such as the teardrop/ball terminals and the strong contrast in joins give the face a polished, engraved-like refinement. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates consistent spacing and a steady baseline rhythm in paragraph settings.
