This serif has pronounced thick–thin modulation with sharp, tapered terminals and bracketed wedge-like serifs. Curves are smooth and carefully tensioned, while verticals remain steady, giving the face a poised, bookish rhythm. Proportions are moderately narrow with generous counters and a slightly compact lowercase; ascenders rise cleanly above the x-height, and the overall spacing reads even and controlled in text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and journals, where its crisp contrast and steady rhythm support an elegant page color. It also works effectively for magazine features, pull quotes, and refined headings, and can lend a formal tone to invitations or programs when set at larger sizes.
The tone is polished and traditional, with an editorial sophistication that feels at home in literary and cultural contexts. Its contrast and crisp finishing add a sense of ceremony and authority without becoming overly ornate.
The design intention appears to be a conventional, high-contrast serif optimized for cultured readability and traditional typography. It aims to balance sharp detail with disciplined spacing to deliver a composed, editorial voice across text and display settings.
The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman. Uppercase forms feel stately and open (notably round letters), while lowercase details—such as the two-storey forms and pointed joins—reinforce a classical text-serifs character. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and appear designed to blend smoothly with running text.
