This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, tapered hairlines and sturdier main stems. Serifs are finely bracketed and generally restrained, with a clean, carved look and sharp terminals on diagonals and cross-strokes. Proportions feel moderately narrow and vertically oriented, with compact lowercase forms and a relatively traditional rhythm in text. Numerals and capitals keep the same disciplined contrast and spacing, producing an overall orderly, high-definition texture.
Well suited to book typography, magazines, and other editorial settings where a traditional serif voice and clear hierarchy are desired. It can handle longer passages with a composed texture, while the crisp capitals and strong contrast also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, and formal invitations or stationery.
The tone is classical and cultivated, leaning toward bookish authority rather than display flamboyance. Its contrast and sharp finishing details evoke a traditional publishing aesthetic—measured, formal, and slightly aristocratic.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a refined, high-contrast drawing that recalls classic printing and literary typography. It prioritizes elegant stroke modulation and a disciplined rhythm to communicate authority and readability in editorial contexts.
In the text sample, the font maintains a consistent baseline and steady spacing, yielding a smooth paragraph color while still showing clear stroke contrast at reading sizes. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman and upright, emphasizing a composed, conventional voice.
