A crisp serif text face with pronounced thick–thin contrast and bracketed serifs that taper to sharp, wedge-like terminals. Proportions are on the broader side, giving capitals and round letters a generous horizontal footprint and an open rhythm. Curves show a vertical stress and smooth, controlled transitions into stems, while joins and corners stay clean and slightly pointed. Lowercase forms are sturdy and readable with a moderate x-height, compact apertures, and clear differentiation in similar shapes; numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varying heights and a flowing, calligraphic feel.
Well suited to book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a classical serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for chapter heads, pull quotes, and formal branding or print collateral that benefits from a traditional, authoritative texture.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking book typography and institutional print. Its sharp serifs and high-contrast modeling add a sense of refinement and seriousness, with an editorial, slightly historic flavor rather than a casual or playful one.
The design appears intended as a conventional serif for comfortable reading, combining broad proportions and a stable rhythm with a refined, high-contrast finish. Its detailing suggests an aim for a classic, print-oriented presence that remains clear in continuous text while providing a dignified voice at larger sizes.
In text, the spacing and letterfit feel even and steady, supporting continuous reading while still delivering a distinctly crisp, engraved-like edge in the serifs and terminals. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a consistent roman texture from display sizes down into paragraph settings.
