This serif features sharp, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs with pronounced thick–thin modulation. The curves are smooth and open, with relatively narrow overall proportions and a measured, even rhythm across words. Uppercase forms feel stately and controlled, while the lowercase shows traditional book-face traits such as a two-storey “a,” compact bowls, and crisp joins. Figures appear lining with clear contrast and a traditional, text-forward stance.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is desired, and it can also support refined headlines, pull quotes, and section titles. It fits branding and communications that aim for heritage, seriousness, or scholarly credibility.
The overall tone is classic and cultured, with a quiet authority suited to editorial and institutional settings. Its high-contrast strokes and precise finishing convey refinement and formality without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-classic serif with strong contrast and crisp details, balancing elegance with readability for continuous text. Its proportions and disciplined forms suggest a focus on editorial utility rather than overt display styling.
Round letters like O/C/Q read clean and balanced, and the italic is not shown—everything presented is roman. The ampersand is traditional and slightly calligraphic, reinforcing a conventional, print-oriented personality.
