This is a traditional serif with slender proportions, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and finely tapered, bracketed serifs. Curves are smooth and controlled, with sharp terminals and a generally crisp, engraved feel. Uppercase forms are stately and relatively narrow, while lowercase shows a compact rhythm with clear counters and careful stroke joins; the two‑storey “a” and “g” and the delicate, slightly ball-like terminals reinforce a bookish texture. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with a refined presence suited to continuous reading at comfortable sizes.
It suits long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. The crisp contrast and narrow capitals also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and refined collateral like invitations or formal announcements when set with sufficient size and leading.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, projecting an editorial, literary voice rather than a casual or utilitarian one. Its sharp contrast and restrained elegance give it a formal, authoritative character that feels at home in traditional publishing contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, high-contrast serif voice with an elegant, print-oriented rhythm. It prioritizes a refined silhouette and traditional letterforms that support editorial credibility while still offering enough sharpness for display settings.
Spacing appears even and text color is relatively light, with the high-contrast strokes producing a bright page and a slightly sparkling texture in paragraphs. The italic is not shown; the visible style reads as a single, consistent roman meant for text and display crossover use.
