This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin contrast with crisp, bracketed serifs and softly tapered terminals. Curves are smooth and moderately organic, with a slightly calligraphic modulation that reads as traditional rather than mechanical. Capitals feel stately and well-proportioned, while lowercase forms maintain a steady rhythm; rounded letters are open and the joins are clean, giving the text an even, composed color. Numerals appear lining and proportional, matching the same high-contrast, serifed construction.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and literary or academic layouts, where its contrast and familiar proportions support a traditional text voice. It also works effectively for magazine typography, reports, and formal headings where a refined, classical serif is desired.
The overall tone is classical and bookish, projecting polish and authority. It suggests a traditional publishing voice—measured, refined, and quietly prestigious—rather than a trendy or overtly decorative personality.
The design intent appears to be a conventional, high-contrast serif for comfortable, reputable text setting, combining classical proportions with crisp detailing for a polished editorial presence.
The italic is not shown; all samples appear in roman. The design balances sharpness (in serifs and hairlines) with gentle curvature, which helps it feel elegant without becoming brittle.
