This serif face shows crisp, bracketed serifs with subtly wedge-like terminals and a strongly modulated stroke that gives letters a lively thick–thin rhythm. Capitals are stately and open, with relatively narrow internal counters and clean, sharply finished joins. Lowercase forms read traditional and compact, with a two-storey “g,” a delicate ear on “g,” and a distinctly angled, calligraphic feel in diagonals like “v/w/y” and the “k” arms. Numerals follow the same refined contrast, with old-style elegance in curves and firm, stable verticals that keep text color even despite the pronounced modulation.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for headings and pull quotes, particularly in print-oriented designs that benefit from refined contrast and traditional proportions.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, evoking editorial typography and printed literature. Its high-contrast detailing and sharp finishing lend an air of seriousness and authority, while the measured proportions keep it composed rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a distinctly classical, print-informed structure—prioritizing a dignified reading voice, crisp finishing, and a familiar literary presence across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
In text, the font produces a clear, rhythmic texture with noticeable sparkle from thin hairlines and crisp serifs. The italic is not shown, and the roman’s punctuation and symbols beyond basic text are not visible in the samples provided.
