A high-contrast serif with sharp, tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that feel lightly flared rather than blunt. Strokes transition cleanly from hairlines to sturdy stems, producing a crisp, luminous texture at text sizes. Capitals are dignified and slightly narrow, while the lowercase shows traditional proportions with a compact, double-storey “g” and strong vertical stress in rounded letters. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with old-style-like curves and fine joining strokes that keep the set elegant and consistent.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine articles where a bright, high-contrast serif texture is desirable. It also performs convincingly for headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials like programs or invitations when an elevated, traditional voice is needed.
The overall tone is classical and cultivated, evoking book typography and formal editorial design. Its sharp serifs and pronounced contrast communicate refinement and authority, with a slightly dramatic, old-world character that feels suited to serious or ceremonial contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances readability with a polished, authoritative presence. Its sharp detailing and disciplined proportions suggest a goal of delivering a timeless, print-oriented voice that scales from body copy to prominent headings.
Spacing appears comfortable in running text, creating a steady rhythm without becoming dark or overly rigid. The italic is not shown; the sample suggests a roman designed to carry long passages while still looking distinctive in display settings.
