This serif shows pronounced contrast between thick and thin strokes, with crisp, bracketed serifs and tapered terminals that suggest a controlled, calligraphic logic. Proportions feel balanced and traditional, with generous counters and a steady vertical rhythm that keeps text color even in paragraph settings. Curves on letters like C, G, S, and the lowercases show smooth modulation rather than abrupt cuts, while capitals have a stately presence without becoming overly wide. Numerals and punctuation follow the same sharp, high-contrast detailing, producing a clean, print-like finish.
It is well-suited to book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture and clear hierarchy are needed. The strong capital presence also makes it effective for headings, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from a traditional, high-contrast voice.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a distinctly literary, editorial character. It reads as refined and authoritative, leaning toward classic book typography rather than overtly decorative display styling.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that delivers a polished, print-oriented reading experience while retaining enough sharpness and elegance to work in titles and formal typography.
The italic is not shown; the visible roman relies on delicate hairlines and sharp joins, which give it a crisp look at larger sizes and a slightly more fragile feel as sizes get smaller. The lowercase includes a double-storey a and g and a fairly compact, disciplined structure that supports long-form reading.
