This serif presents a traditional, book-oriented structure with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Proportions are balanced and moderately compact, with clear vertical stress and smooth joins that keep strokes from feeling brittle despite the strong contrast. Counters are open and rounded, and letterfit appears steady, producing an even text color in paragraphs. Numerals align comfortably with the text style, showing the same contrast and serif treatment for a cohesive page texture.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture and strong hierarchy are needed. The contrast and crisp serifs also make it effective for magazine headlines, section openers, and refined print collateral, especially when paired with ample leading and comfortable sizes.
The overall tone is classical and composed, evoking established editorial and literary typography. Its refined contrast and controlled detailing read as formal without becoming ornate, making it feel authoritative and polished. The rhythm and sharp finishing strokes lend a quietly dramatic, print-like presence.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif that delivers a familiar reading experience with a more polished, high-contrast finish. It aims to balance tradition and clarity, producing an elegant page color suitable for serious, content-driven typography.
Uppercase forms show confident, sculpted serifs and clean apexes, while lowercase maintains legibility through generous bowls and clear differentiation between similar shapes. The ‘g’ and ‘a’ use conventional, text-friendly constructions, and the italic is not shown, reinforcing a straightforward roman voice in the samples.
