This serif shows pronounced stroke contrast with thin hairlines and confident, darker verticals. Serifs are finely bracketed and neatly tapered, giving terminals a sharp, crisp finish without feeling mechanical. The proportions are traditional and slightly high-waisted, with relatively small lowercase relative to the capitals and clear, open counters that keep the forms legible at text sizes. Curves are smooth and controlled (notably in C, G, S, and the bowls of b/p), while diagonals in V/W/X are clean and steady, creating an even rhythm across lines of text.
It performs well for long-form reading in books and essays where a classic serif texture is desired, and it scales nicely to display settings for magazine headlines or chapter openers. The elegant contrast and tidy serifs also make it a strong choice for formal branding, invitations, and other applications that benefit from a traditional, elevated typographic voice.
The overall tone is polished and classical, with an editorial seriousness that reads as cultured and authoritative. Its high-contrast detailing adds a touch of elegance, making it feel suited to refined, print-like typography rather than casual or utilitarian voice.
The design intention appears to be a conventional, high-contrast serif for editorial typography—balancing classic proportions with crisp finishing details to deliver a refined page color in text and a graceful presence in larger sizes.
The sample text shows a measured, bookish cadence: uppercase letters feel stately and prominent, while the lowercase maintains a calm, conventional texture. Figures appear lining-style with similarly high contrast, matching the text color and formality of the letters.
