A high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and finely bracketed serifs. Curves show a subtle calligraphic stress, with crisp hairlines and smoothly tapered terminals that keep counters open and shapes well defined. Proportions lean slightly narrow and vertical, giving a steady text rhythm while allowing capitals to feel statuesque and composed. The lowercase is traditional and readable, with a moderate x-height and refined joins that emphasize a polished, print-oriented texture.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and magazines where a refined serif texture is desired. It also performs nicely for display settings such as chapter titles, pull quotes, and formal collateral (programs, invitations) where crisp contrast can add sophistication.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking book typography and traditional publishing. Its sharp contrast and restrained details convey elegance and formality without feeling overly ornate, supporting a confident, editorial voice.
This design appears intended to deliver a conventional, highly legible text serif with elevated contrast and a traditional, literary complexion. The careful serif bracketing and controlled stroke modulation aim for a polished page color that feels authoritative in editorial contexts.
Numerals appear to follow oldstyle behavior, with varying heights and a more text-friendly cadence compared to lining figures. The italic is not shown; the upright design relies on contrast and serif shaping rather than slant for character.
