This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with sharp, tapered terminals and neatly bracketed serifs. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with a relatively narrow overall footprint and clear vertical stress, while curves stay smooth and controlled. Lowercase forms are compact and tidy, with a two-storey “g” and “a,” a straight-sided “m,” and a clean, gently curved “y” descender; spacing reads measured rather than loose. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with open, elegant bowls and fine joining strokes.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and essays, as well as editorial layouts where a traditional, authoritative texture is desired. It also works effectively for formal announcements, invitations, and titles that benefit from crisp contrast and a classic serif voice.
The overall tone is formal and bookish, with a calm authority associated with traditional publishing and editorial typography. Its crisp contrast and disciplined detailing feel refined and slightly ceremonial rather than casual or playful.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that prioritizes a refined reading rhythm and an established literary tone. Its proportions and restrained detailing suggest a focus on timelessness and clarity in editorial and publishing contexts.
At larger sizes the hairlines and sharp joins give a polished, engraved-like crispness; in smaller settings the very fine strokes may require careful size and color management to keep text from looking faint. The italics are not shown, but the roman has enough calligraphic influence in its contrast and terminals to read as classically rooted.
