This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with a largely vertical stress and crisp, bracketed serifs. Capitals are stately and moderately wide, with clear, sharp terminals and generous inner counters in letters like B, D, and O. Lowercase forms follow conventional book-serif construction: a two-storey a and g, compact joins, and a steady baseline rhythm; the serifs read refined rather than blocky, with tapered finishing on strokes and a slightly calligraphic feel. Numerals are lining and proportionally varied, matching the text color and contrast of the letters.
Well suited to book typography, magazines, and other editorial layouts where a classic serif voice and strong paragraph texture are desired. It can also serve comfortably for academic material, reports, and formal communications, and scales well for headlines where the contrast and serifs add presence.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, evoking traditional print typography and established institutions. Its contrast and carefully shaped serifs lend a sense of seriousness and authority while staying familiar and readable.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that delivers a traditional literary feel and dependable readability. Its details prioritize familiar proportions, clear differentiation, and an even reading rhythm for sustained settings.
Letterforms maintain consistent contrast and serif treatment across cases, producing a confident, dark text color in paragraph settings. The italics are not shown; the sample demonstrates an upright roman optimized for continuous reading with clear word shapes and stable spacing.
