A conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, dark texture. Serifs are finely bracketed and tend toward sharp, pointed terminals rather than blunt ends, giving strokes a slightly calligraphic finish. Proportions run on the slimmer side with compact letter widths and a steady vertical rhythm; counters stay open, and the curves (notably in C, G, S, and 0) show clear stress and tapered joins. Ascenders and capitals feel tall and elegant, while numerals and punctuation maintain the same high-contrast, tapered detailing for a cohesive text color.
Well-suited to editorial design, long-form reading, and classic book or magazine typography where a refined serif texture is desired. It can also support upscale branding, invitations, and headlines that benefit from high-contrast elegance without drifting into decorative extremes.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, evoking book typography and formal print. Its sharp serifs and strong contrast add a touch of sophistication and authority, reading as more refined than casual.
The design appears intended as a familiar, print-oriented text serif that balances readability with a more polished, high-contrast finish. Its narrow rhythm and crisp terminals suggest a focus on efficient set widths and a dignified, traditional voice.
The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman. The font’s contrast and pointed details create a crisp presence at display sizes, while the tight, even rhythm suggests it is meant to hold together in continuous reading when set with appropriate size and leading.
