A high-contrast serif with sharply tapered hairlines, sturdy vertical stems, and distinctly bracketed serifs that end in crisp, slightly flared terminals. Curves are smooth and open, with an overall horizontal generosity in many capitals and a measured, conventional lowercase proportioning. The italic is not shown; the roman maintains a steady, upright rhythm with clear thick–thin modulation and a polished, print-like finish in both letters and numerals.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and literary layouts where crisp serif details and strong stroke contrast enhance a classic page color. It also performs convincingly in editorial headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding or packaging that benefits from a traditional, authoritative voice.
The tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography, established institutions, and editorial polish. Its sharp detailing and pronounced contrast read as authoritative and refined rather than casual, with a slightly dramatic edge that suits elegant settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances elegance with clarity, delivering a familiar typographic texture while adding sharper, more dramatic detailing for emphasis in display and editorial contexts.
Uppercase forms feel stately and broad, while the lowercase shows familiar text-face cues such as a two-storey “g,” a balanced “a,” and compact joins that keep word shapes orderly. Numerals follow the same contrast model and appear designed to sit comfortably alongside text, with clear differentiation between figures and consistent serif treatment.
