A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines, fuller vertical stems, and distinctly bracketed wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show a traditional, calligraphic stress with smooth curve-to-stem transitions and a steady, text-oriented rhythm. Proportions feel moderately compact with clear counters and a slightly assertive presence in capitals, while the lowercase maintains a familiar book face structure for continuous reading. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, appearing well aligned and consistent in color with the text.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books and essays, as well as editorial layouts in magazines and newspapers where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs effectively in headings, pull quotes, and title treatments that benefit from crisp contrast and a classic typographic color.
The overall tone is classic and formal, with a distinctly literary character that suggests traditional publishing and refined editorial work. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast add a sense of authority and polish, suitable for serious, established voices rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that emphasizes traditional proportions, calligraphic stress, and clean, sharp finishing. It aims to provide a familiar, authoritative reading experience with enough contrast to add elegance in display contexts.
In sample text, the font holds together cleanly at larger reading sizes, with strong vertical emphasis and clear word shapes. The italics are not shown; the impression here comes from the upright roman’s contrast, bracketing, and traditional stress.
