A refined serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a controlled, classic construction with smooth curves, tapered joins, and sharp terminals that stay clean at display sizes. Counters are relatively open and the rhythm is steady, while proportions lean generously wide with noticeable variation in character widths across the alphabet. Numerals and capitals carry strong vertical emphasis and polished finishing, giving the face a clear, high-end editorial presence.
Well-suited to magazine typography, book interiors, and other editorial systems that benefit from a traditional serif texture with strong contrast. It also performs convincingly in headlines, pull quotes, and premium branding where sharp finishing and a composed, classical feel help establish hierarchy and credibility.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, with an elegant, slightly dramatic contrast that reads as upscale and traditional rather than casual. It suggests bookish authority and measured formality, appropriate where a composed, premium voice is needed.
The design appears intended as a conventional, versatile serif that bridges text and display use: classical proportions and steady rhythm for reading, paired with crisp contrast and detailing for impactful titles. Its overall drawing prioritizes refinement, clarity, and a polished editorial voice.
The italic is not shown; the roman includes distinctive, finely cut terminals (notably in curves and diagonals) and carefully drawn ball/teardrop-like details on select lowercase forms. Stroke contrast and serifs create a strong texture that becomes assertive in dense settings, making line spacing and size important for comfort.
