A refined serif typeface with pronounced contrast between thick stems and hairline connections, and neatly bracketed wedge-like serifs. The proportions feel balanced and traditional, with moderate apertures and a steady, text-oriented rhythm. Uppercase forms are dignified and slightly narrow in feel, while lowercase shows calligraphic influence in details like the two-storey a and g and a gently angled, tapered stroke modulation. Numerals appear oldstyle (ranging), with varied heights and soft curves that blend naturally with running text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It also fits formal documents and polished brand systems that rely on typographic authority, and can serve effectively in headlines when set with adequate size and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is classic and literary, communicating tradition and credibility. Its crisp finishing and lively contrast add a sense of refinement suited to established, editorial typography rather than a casual or playful voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-first serif that channels traditional book typography through high-contrast structure, familiar proportions, and restrained detailing for dependable readability and a cultured tone.
Curves are smooth and controlled, with teardrop-like terminals in places and careful join transitions that keep the high contrast from looking brittle. The italic is not shown; the roman styling carries enough stroke modulation to feel subtly calligraphic without becoming decorative.
