This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, bracketed serifs and a steady, upright stance. Capitals are moderately wide with sharp apexes and tapered joins, while curves (C, G, O, Q) are round and controlled, giving an even typographic color. The lowercase features a two-storey a and g, a compact e with a firm horizontal bar, and a narrow, energetic s; ascenders and descenders are proportionate and lend a traditional reading rhythm. Numerals are lining and old-style in feel through their varied widths and strong contrast, with clear, sturdy shapes for text settings.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and academic or legal materials, where a familiar serif rhythm supports comfort and structure. It also performs confidently in editorial headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding applications that call for a classic, established voice.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a composed, authoritative presence. Its contrast and crisp terminals add a sense of refinement and seriousness that reads as established and trustworthy rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a refined, high-contrast finish—balancing elegance with readability. Its proportions and consistent detailing suggest a focus on dependable editorial typography that can scale from body text to prominent titles without changing character.
Stroke endings and serifs remain sharp at display sizes, and the counters stay relatively open for a high-contrast design, helping maintain clarity. The italic is not shown; the samples suggest the roman is optimized for continuous text while still carrying enough character for headings.
