This serif shows crisp, finely tapered strokes with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed serifs that end in sharp, slightly flared terminals. Curves are smoothly modeled and the overall color is open and airy, with moderate spacing and clear counters. Capitals feel stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase maintains a steady rhythm with compact joins, pointed beaks on forms like “c” and “e,” and a gently calligraphic sense of stroke entry and exit. Numerals are lining and similarly modeled, with elegant curves and distinct, readable silhouettes.
It performs best in editorial settings such as books, magazines, and long-form articles where a classic serif texture is desired. The pronounced contrast and crisp detailing also make it effective for display sizes—chapter titles, pull quotes, and formal announcements—where its refined character can be appreciated.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, conveying a bookish, authoritative voice suited to formal communication. Its high-contrast sparkle and crisp terminals add a refined, slightly ceremonial feel without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for composed reading and polished typography, aiming for a timeless, print-classic voice with crisp detailing and clear structure.
The italic is not shown; based on the roman alone, the design leans toward a transitional, print-oriented temperament with careful stroke modulation and a restrained elegance. The shapes stay conventional and legible, with enough sharpness at terminals to give headlines a clean snap.
