This serif shows crisp, bracketed serifs and clear, high-contrast stroke modulation with a vertical, steady stance. Curves are smooth and controlled, with moderately narrow apertures and a slightly compact feel in the lowercase. Terminals tend toward sharp, tapered finishes rather than blunt cuts, giving the outlines a clean, engraved quality. Capitals are balanced and traditional, while the lowercase maintains an even rhythm with a two-storey “g” and a compact “a,” supporting continuous reading.
Well-suited to book typography, essays, and magazine text where a refined, traditional serif texture is desired. It can also support formal brand systems—especially for publishing, cultural institutions, and premium packaging—when set at moderate sizes where its fine contrast and sharp serifs remain clear.
The overall tone is cultured and authoritative, with a quiet elegance that reads as editorial and literary. Its sharp details and contrast lend a sense of formality, while the restrained proportions keep it composed rather than decorative.
The design intent appears to be a conventional, readable text serif with a polished, editorial finish, prioritizing a familiar roman structure, consistent spacing rhythm, and crisp detailing for professional typography.
The figures appear lining and proportionally varied, matching the text color and cadence of the letters. Punctuation and dots are clean and round, and the italic is not shown, keeping the impression firmly rooted in a straightforward roman text voice.
