A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a measured, bookish rhythm. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with smooth transitions and relatively sharp terminals, giving letters a polished, engraved-like clarity. Proportions feel moderately narrow with vertical emphasis, while counters remain open enough to keep word shapes clean in continuous text. Numerals align with the same refined contrast and serif treatment, reading firmly and evenly alongside capitals and lowercase.
Well suited to book interiors, essays, reports, and magazine articles where a classic serif voice and consistent text color are desired. It can also support formal display needs such as headings, pull quotes, and institutional collateral when paired with ample leading and margin space.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking classic book typography and institutional publishing. Its contrast and tidy detailing communicate formality and confidence without becoming ornamental, making it feel composed and authoritative.
The design appears intended as a dependable, classic text serif that balances elegance with everyday legibility. Its strong contrast and careful serif shaping suggest a focus on producing refined page typography with a traditional publishing character.
In the sample text, spacing appears steady and the texture is consistent, producing a calm gray value typical of conventional text serifs. The italic is not shown, but the roman exhibits a restrained, transitional sensibility with a clear baseline and controlled curves that support long-form readability.
