A crisp transitional serif with bracketed serifs, pronounced thick–thin modulation, and sharp, tapered terminals. The capitals are stately and evenly proportioned with generous counters and smooth, elliptical curves, while the lowercase keeps a traditional text rhythm with a two-storey “a,” a compact “e,” and a double-storey “g.” Strokes resolve into fine hairlines in joins and serifs, giving the face a polished, engraved-influenced finish without appearing overly decorative. Numerals follow the same contrasty logic, with open forms and clean alignment that reads comfortably alongside text.
It performs well in body copy for books and periodicals, where its clear counters and classical proportions support sustained reading. The high-contrast detailing and dignified capitals also make it suitable for headlines, pull quotes, and front matter in editorial and academic layouts.
The overall tone is composed and authoritative, conveying a traditional, scholarly feel suited to long-form reading. Its refined contrast and tidy detailing add an editorial elegance that signals seriousness and care.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-quality text serif that prioritizes readability while adding a restrained, traditional sophistication. Its controlled contrast and bracketed serifs suggest a focus on dependable typography for publishing contexts rather than display eccentricity.
Spacing and sidebearings appear balanced for continuous text, producing an even grayscale in the paragraph sample. The italic is not shown; all specimens here present a consistent roman voice.
