A refined text serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Capitals are stately and moderately wide with smooth curves and crisp terminals, while the lowercase shows a steady book rhythm with gently tapered stems and subtly flared entry/exit strokes. Curves are carefully drawn and slightly calligraphic in feel, with a compact, readable texture that stays even across lines; numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment for a cohesive color in text.
Well-suited to body text in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a polished serif texture is desired. It can also serve effectively for headings, pull quotes, and formal printed materials that benefit from a traditional, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, balancing elegance with practicality. Its sharp contrast and poised proportions suggest formality and credibility, while the restrained detailing keeps it approachable for extended reading.
Designed to deliver a conventional, high-quality reading experience with a touch of classical sophistication. The intention appears to be a dependable serif for editorial typography, combining strong contrast and crisp serifs with consistent spacing and an even text color.
Details like the curved leg on the R, the traditional two-storey a, and the brisk, slightly angled terminals add a familiar editorial flavor without looking overly ornate. The italic is not shown, but the roman exhibits enough modulation and tapering to feel lively rather than purely mechanical.
