A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed wedge serifs and a pronounced thick–thin modulation. The capitals are stately and relatively wide with clean vertical stress and sharp terminals, while the lowercase shows compact counters and sturdy stems that keep the color even in text. Curves are smooth and controlled (not overly calligraphic), and joins/serifs remain clean and pointed, giving the face a precise, print-like rhythm. Numerals follow the same contrast model, with clear, open forms and distinctive angled terminals.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its structured rhythm supports continuous text. It also performs convincingly in headlines and subheads when you want a classic, authoritative voice with crisp detail.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a polished, editorial feel. It reads as serious and cultivated rather than playful, suggesting established institutions, literature, and print craft.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a refined, print-oriented finish—balancing strong contrast and sharp serifs with restrained, readable proportions for editorial and book typography.
In the text sample, the strong contrast and sharp serifs create a crisp texture at larger sizes, while maintaining a disciplined baseline and consistent spacing. The italic is not shown; the impression here is driven by an upright roman designed for clarity and presence.
