This is a high‑contrast text serif with crisp hairlines and more substantial main strokes, producing a clear vertical stress. Serifs are bracketed and generally fine, with pointed, tapering terminals visible on letters like A, V, W, and y. Proportions are fairly traditional: capitals are stately and a bit narrow, while the lowercase shows moderate width with open counters and a smooth, even rhythm across words. Ascenders rise prominently and the lowercase includes compact, neatly rounded bowls (b, p) alongside more calligraphic joins (k, r), creating a composed but lively texture in paragraph settings.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine work where a refined serif texture is desired. It also performs confidently in headlines, pull quotes, and brand applications that call for a classic, upscale voice, especially at medium to large sizes where the contrast and hairline details can shine.
The overall tone is polished and bookish, with a classic, editorial sensibility. Its sharpness and contrast lend a sense of sophistication and authority, while the balanced spacing keeps it readable and calm rather than showy.
The design appears intended as a conventional, versatile text serif that elevates reading with high-contrast elegance and carefully shaped serifs. It aims to balance classic proportioning with enough sharp detail to feel contemporary in editorial and branding contexts.
Figures are lining and serifed, with strong contrast and clear differentiation between forms like 6/8/9 and 1/7. The italic is not shown; all samples appear in a consistent roman style. The font maintains a consistent stroke logic across uppercase and lowercase, with a slightly calligraphic edge in diagonals and terminals that adds sparkle at display sizes without overwhelming text.
