A high-contrast serif with crisp, sharply finished terminals and bracketed serifs that taper into slender hairlines. The proportions feel traditionally bookish: relatively narrow capitals, compact counters, and a steady baseline rhythm, with prominent thick–thin modulation on curves and diagonals. Lowercase forms show conventional two-storey construction (notably in a and g) and a clear, upright stance, while figures follow an old-style influence with varying widths and distinct thick–thin stress.
Well suited to long-form reading in print and high-resolution digital settings, especially for books, magazines, and editorial layouts. It also performs nicely for formal headlines, pull quotes, and chapter titles where its contrast and sharp serifs can add refinement without becoming decorative.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking editorial typography and established print traditions. Its sharp finishing and strong contrast lend a sense of formality and authority, while the measured rhythm keeps it composed rather than ornamental.
The design appears aimed at a conventional, print-rooted reading face that balances elegance with disciplined structure. Its high-contrast modulation and crisp serifs suggest an intention to deliver a refined, authoritative voice for serious text and editorial typography.
In text, the contrast and fine hairlines create a bright, elegant color with pronounced vertical emphasis. The italics are not shown, but the roman exhibits subtle calligraphic stress, and the capital shapes read confidently for titling when given adequate size and spacing.
