A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp hairline serifs. The letterforms show a relatively compact footprint with vertically oriented stress, slim stems, and sharply tapered terminals that give the outlines a clean, precise finish. Serifs are bracketed but delicate, with a consistent rhythm across capitals and lowercase; counters are moderately open, and curves (such as in C, S, and e) maintain a controlled, even tension. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with slender joins and clear, traditional proportions suited to text and titling.
Well-suited to book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely for headlines, pull quotes, and elegant print pieces such as invitations or programs, where its crisp contrast and compact proportions can add sophistication without feeling ornate.
The overall tone is composed and literary, conveying an editorial seriousness associated with book typography and classic publishing. Its fine details and controlled contrast feel elegant and slightly formal, with a quiet authority rather than a decorative flourish.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for reading and editorial hierarchy, balancing a traditional skeleton with finely drawn details for a polished, contemporary reproduction.
In the text sample, the fine serifs and hairline connections read cleanly at display sizes, while the narrow proportions increase density and make long lines feel compact. The italic is not shown; the visible roman maintains an even, steady color with sharp punctuation and a distinctly traditional ampersand.
