A refined serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Stems stay confident and dark while hairlines and cross-strokes taper to fine points, creating a clean, high-contrast rhythm. Proportions feel traditional with modest apertures and a relatively small x-height, while capitals are stately and evenly set. The italic is not shown; the roman maintains straight, upright posture with carefully controlled curves and tapering terminals.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and refined print materials such as programs or invitations, especially at moderate to larger sizes where the fine hairlines can show clearly.
The overall tone is classic and composed, with an editorial seriousness that reads as bookish and cultivated. Its sharp hairlines and poised serifs add a sense of formality and quiet sophistication rather than warmth or casualness.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional, print-oriented serif texture with a polished, high-contrast finish. The intent appears to balance readability with elegance, offering a disciplined, classic typographic voice for professional publishing contexts.
Round letters show smooth, controlled curvature and tight joining into serifs, and the numerals share the same contrast and refinement, suiting text-like settings rather than purely geometric display. The sample paragraph demonstrates good word-shape consistency and a steady baseline color, with the delicate details becoming more prominent at larger sizes.
