A crisp serif with pronounced stroke modulation and bracketed, slightly flared serifs that give the forms a carved, calligraphic feel. Capitals are stately and open, with sharp apexes and balanced proportions, while the lowercase shows a traditional two-storey a and g, tight joins, and clean, tapered terminals. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and sharp finishing strokes, creating a consistent, print-oriented rhythm across text sizes.
Well-suited to book typography and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and section titles, especially where a refined, classic texture is needed to complement long-form content.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a formal, cultured presence that reads as trustworthy and established. Its high-contrast elegance and sharp detailing suggest editorial polish and a traditional sensibility rather than a casual or purely utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable text serif with elevated contrast and carefully shaped serifs, balancing tradition with a clean, contemporary sharpness. It aims for a polished page color and a confident, established tone that works across both text and larger sizes.
Details like the pointed, wedge-like serifs and tapered stroke endings add sparkle in display settings, while the orderly spacing and conventional letterforms keep extended reading comfortable. The italic is not shown, but the roman forms already carry a subtle calligraphic energy through their modulation and terminal shaping.
