A refined text serif with strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes show crisp hairlines and sturdier verticals, with smooth, calligraphic entry/exit terminals that often finish in small teardrops or pointed tips. Capitals are stately and moderately wide with a steady vertical emphasis, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation and a measured rhythm; bowls are round and open, and joins are clean. Figures follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and fine horizontals that suit continuous reading and display settings alike.
Well suited to long-form editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. The crisp contrast and refined terminals also make it effective for pull quotes, section heads, invitations, and premium brand wordmarks when set with ample spacing and high-quality output.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, leaning toward editorial and bookish sophistication. Its sharp hairlines and tapered terminals add a sense of precision and luxury, while the traditional proportions keep it grounded and familiar.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, highly polished reading serif that balances tradition with a slightly sharp, contemporary finish. Its bracketed serifs, strong modulation, and disciplined proportions aim to provide an authoritative tone and a composed page color across paragraphs and headlines.
In text, the face produces a lively texture from its contrast and tapering, with punctuation and dots rendered as small diamond-like forms that reinforce the crisp, engraved feel. The italic is not shown; the samples suggest a roman designed to read cleanly at moderate sizes while also scaling up gracefully for headings.
