A refined serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a lively, slightly calligraphic modulation. Serifs are bracketed and often flare softly from the stems, while joins and curves stay crisp, giving the face a polished, print-like finish. Proportions lean generous with steady spacing, and the lowercase shows compact, well-contained counters and a traditional two-storey structure where expected (notably in the g). Numerals and capitals carry the same high-contrast rhythm, with sharp apexes and tapered strokes that keep the texture bright and well defined.
Well suited to editorial typography—magazine layouts, longform articles, and book interiors—where high contrast and crisp serifs can provide a cultivated reading texture at comfortable sizes. It also performs nicely for display applications such as headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that benefit from a classic, authoritative voice.
The overall tone feels classical and literary, with a formal, editorial presence. Its sharp contrast and flared details add a hint of elegance and tradition, suggesting authority without feeling overly decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with elevated contrast and subtly flared finishing, balancing classical proportions with a sharper, more contemporary crispness for both text and display use.
The italic is not shown; the displayed style reads as a roman with consistent modulation across caps, lowercase, and figures. Details like the strong top serifs on T and the sculpted curves on Q, S, and 2–3 contribute to a slightly dramatic, high-end texture in setting.
