A high-contrast text serif with fine hairlines, stronger vertical stems, and smoothly bracketed serifs. The drawing shows a measured, bookish rhythm with moderately narrow proportions and generous internal counters in letters like C, O, and e. Curves transition cleanly into stems, and terminals often finish with tapered, slightly calligraphic shaping, giving a crisp but not overly sharp texture. Lowercase forms keep a traditional structure (two-storey a and g, teardrop-like ear on g), while numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varying heights and subtle modulation.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classical serif voice is desired. It also performs attractively in headings, pull quotes, and formal materials that benefit from a refined, traditional texture.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, evoking printed literature, academic settings, and classic editorial typography. Its contrast and delicate details add a sense of refinement and seriousness, while the restrained shapes keep it grounded and readable.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-quality text serif that balances elegance with steady readability. Its bracketed serifs, controlled proportions, and traditional lowercase construction suggest a focus on versatile editorial work rather than novelty or extreme display effects.
Uppercase characters present a stately presence with controlled width and clear serif articulation, and the italic is not shown—everything reads as roman. The text sample demonstrates even spacing and a consistent vertical emphasis, producing a smooth, page-like gray at larger sizes while remaining elegant in display lines.
