A classic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Capitals feel stately and slightly wide with open counters and a steady baseline rhythm, while the lowercase maintains a moderate x-height and clear vertical stress. Curves are clean and controlled, terminals are sharp without becoming spiky, and spacing reads even in text, supporting a polished, conventional page color.
Works well for long-form reading in books and essays, as well as magazine and newspaper-style editorial layouts. The contrast and confident capitals also make it effective for chapter titles, pull quotes, and refined brand or institutional materials where a traditional serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a bookish, editorial character. Its high-contrast strokes and disciplined proportions convey refinement and seriousness rather than casualness, making it feel suited to established institutions and long-standing print conventions.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances elegance with clarity. Its proportions and bracketed serifs aim to deliver a familiar literary texture while remaining crisp and present in display sizes.
Numerals are oldstyle in feel, integrating smoothly with lowercase texture rather than standing as rigid lining figures. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a roman style that stays composed at large sizes and maintains legibility through distinctive letterforms and open apertures.
