A high-contrast serif with slender hairlines, fuller main strokes, and softly bracketed wedge serifs. The forms show a gently calligraphic rhythm, with moderate stress and smooth, rounded joins that keep counters open and readable. Proportions lean slightly narrow in many capitals, while round letters retain generous width, producing an overall lively texture. Lowercase details (notably the ear and terminals) are crisp and traditional, and the numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and descenders that blend naturally into text.
Well suited to long-form reading and editorial layouts where a classical serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal materials such as programs, announcements, and invitations where typographic tradition supports the message.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, evoking book typography and established editorial design. Its contrast and sharp finishing give it a polished, slightly aristocratic feel without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, bookish serif voice with clear stroke modulation and traditional detailing, balancing authority with readability. Its oldstyle numerals and crisp terminals suggest a focus on elegant text composition and editorial credibility.
The italic is not shown; the displayed style relies on upright forms with distinctive, slightly flared serifs and pronounced stroke modulation. The ampersand and punctuation match the same refined, high-contrast voice, supporting continuous reading at larger text and display sizes.
