This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp hairlines and bracketed wedge-like serifs. Capitals are stately and relatively compact in width, with generous counters and a slightly tapered, calligraphic stress visible in rounds like C, G, and O. The lowercase keeps a moderate x-height and open apertures, with gently curved shoulders (n, m) and a two-storey a; ascenders are clean and vertical, while descenders are modest and neatly finished. Overall spacing reads even and text-ready, with a smooth rhythm that stays controlled in paragraphs.
It works well for book and long-form editorial settings where a classical serif texture is desired, and it also scales nicely for elegant headlines and subheads. The narrow, high-contrast build can support space-conscious layouts such as magazine columns, programs, and refined brand systems that favor a traditional voice.
The tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking printed literature and institutional formality. Its sharp contrast and tidy finishing lend a refined, authoritative voice that feels composed rather than expressive.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a polished, print-oriented color and a distinctly classic silhouette. Its combination of strong contrast, bracketed serifs, and restrained proportions suggests an aim for timeless readability with an editorial finish.
Numerals share the same high-contrast construction and look suited to running text, with clear differentiation between forms. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a steady roman texture with distinct word shapes at display sizes.
