A refined serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and relatively narrow in stress, while verticals read firm and steady, giving a polished, bookish rhythm. Terminals often finish in tapered, slightly calligraphic points (notably in C, S, and e), and the lowercase shows compact bowls with clear apertures. Numerals mix sturdy vertical structure with delicate joins, maintaining the same high-contrast logic as the letters.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly for elegant headlines, pull quotes, and section openers that benefit from high-contrast sparkle and crisp detailing.
The overall tone is poised and cultured, with a quietly luxurious feel that suggests traditional print craft. Its contrast and sharpened finishing details give it a formal, editorial voice suited to sophisticated settings rather than casual or playful ones.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, print-oriented serif voice with elevated contrast and carefully finished serifs, balancing readability with an explicitly refined, editorial character.
Capitals present classical proportions with generous interior space, while the lowercase adds a touch of liveliness through angled entry strokes and tapered terminals. The italic is not shown; the sample text indicates the roman maintains clarity at text sizes, though the fine hairlines and sharp joins will reward good reproduction conditions.
