This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin contrast with crisp, sharply finished serifs that are largely bracketed. Strokes are clean and upright, with a steady vertical rhythm and moderate proportions that keep counters open while preserving a traditional page color. The capitals feel stately and well-balanced, while the lowercase exhibits calligraphic influence in details like the two-storey a and g and the gently tapered terminals. Numerals align with the text style, mixing sturdy verticals with curved figures and clear, sculpted joins.
It suits editorial typography such as longform articles, books, and magazine layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. The strong contrast and crisp serifs also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding applications that benefit from a traditional, high-end voice.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, projecting clarity and authority without feeling ornate. Its contrast and crisp finishing add a refined, editorial polish that reads as established and trustworthy.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and finely cut details, balancing readability with a polished, professional presence suitable for print-forward typography.
Distinctive details include a lively, slightly calligraphic italic-less (roman) feel in the terminals, a clear two-storey g with a defined ear, and a Q with a pronounced tail that adds character in display settings. The sample text suggests strong word-shape definition and a confident texture at larger reading sizes.
