This serif typeface shows strongly modulated strokes with a pronounced thick–thin rhythm and crisp, bracketed serifs. Capitals are stately and relatively wide, with clean vertical stress and neatly tapered terminals, while the lowercase is more compact with a short x-height and lively ascenders/descenders. Curves are smooth and controlled, and joins are carefully shaped to keep counters open despite the contrast. Numerals follow the same calligraphic modulation, reading as traditional text figures in spirit with elegant curves and tapered endings.
It is well suited to continuous reading in books and long-form editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for headings and pull quotes when a refined, classical tone is needed without becoming ornate.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with a bookish formality that feels suited to established institutions and editorial contexts. Its sharp serifs and high stroke modulation convey polish and authority rather than casual friendliness.
The design intent appears to be a conventional, highly legible text serif with a distinctly classical, calligraphic modulation. It prioritizes a familiar reading rhythm and a formal voice over eccentric display features.
Spacing appears even and measured, supporting a steady text rhythm. The italic is not shown; the upright roman carries the personality through tapered terminals, slightly flared strokes, and a restrained, traditional silhouette.
