This is a high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Capitals are stately and relatively narrow with sharp apexes (notably in A and V) and clean, tapered terminals. The lowercase shows a traditional text rhythm with compact, sturdy forms, rounded bowls, and occasional teardrop/ball-like terminals (seen in letters like a, f, y), giving the face a slightly calligraphic finish. Numerals follow the same contrast-driven construction, with a mix of straight verticals and curved strokes that retain clear, sharp joins.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and literary publishing where a classic serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks that benefit from high-contrast refinement and a traditional, premium feel.
The overall tone is refined and classic, with an editorial polish that reads as cultured and authoritative. Its sharp contrast and neat finishing details convey a sense of formality and sophistication rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, print-oriented serif with a polished, high-contrast presence, balancing crisp display character with a readable text rhythm. Its finishing details and controlled proportions suggest an aim toward timeless, editorial versatility.
Stroke contrast is strong enough that thin hairlines become a key part of the texture at display sizes, while the counters and apertures remain clear. The spacing and rhythm in the sample text suggest it is intended to create a clean, composed page color rather than a dense, heavy one.
