A high-contrast serif with crisp hairlines, heavier vertical stems, and bracketed wedge-like serifs that taper into the main strokes. Curves are smooth and fairly compact, with a measured, even rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. The lowercase shows traditional, two-storey forms for a and g, a narrow, sturdy i/j with diamond-like dots, and a relatively modest x-height that keeps proportions distinctly text-oriented. Numerals are proportional with strong contrast and a mix of straight and curved terminals, matching the refined, print-like detailing of the letters.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, especially in print where fine hairlines can be appreciated. It also fits formal communication such as programs, invitations, and institutional materials where a traditional serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and composed, with a distinctly literary, editorial feel. Its sharp contrast and traditional serif detailing convey formality and authority, while the controlled proportions keep it reserved rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances elegance with readability. Its restrained shapes and consistent rhythm suggest a focus on serious typography for publishing and other formal contexts.
Capitals are stately and slightly condensed in feel, with pronounced contrast that becomes especially visible in E/F/T and the diagonal strokes of V/W/X. The italic is not shown; all samples read as upright roman forms with clear, conventional punctuation and spacing in running text.
