This serif features pronounced thick–thin contrast with crisp, bracketed serifs and a largely vertical stress. Curves are full and open, while joins are clean and decisive, giving the letterforms a sturdy, sculpted presence. Proportions feel traditional, with moderate ascenders and descenders and a steady, even rhythm in text; capitals are broad and stately, and the numerals follow the same high-contrast, old-style-influenced modulation with strong verticals and refined curves.
It performs especially well for headlines and short passages where strong contrast and firm serifs can create an upscale editorial voice. It also suits book covers, magazine titles, pull quotes, and formal branding applications that benefit from a traditional, print-like texture.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, combining formality with a confident, slightly dramatic presence. It reads as literary and authoritative, with a polished, print-oriented feel suited to serious headlines and composed text settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for professional publishing, balancing readability with a heightened, display-capable presence. Its controlled modulation and classic proportions suggest a focus on confident typographic hierarchy and a refined page color.
In the sample text, the heavy strokes and sharp terminals create strong color on the page, especially at display sizes. The italics are not shown; the roman design relies on contrast and serif shaping rather than overt ornament for character.
