A high-contrast serif with bracketed, finely tapered serifs and a distinctly calligraphic stroke modulation. The letterforms show sharp hairlines against sturdier vertical stems, with smoothly modeled curves and a crisp, controlled rhythm. Proportions are classical: capitals feel stately and slightly condensed in presence, while the lowercase is compact and readable with rounded bowls, a two-storey “a,” and a traditional “g.” Numerals follow the same contrast and modulation, with open counters and delicate terminals that echo the text face behavior.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly for headlines, pull quotes, and cultural or academic materials that benefit from a refined, authoritative tone, and can lend sophistication to formal stationery or invitations when set with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, with an old-style editorial confidence rather than a casual or playful voice. Its crisp contrast and refined serifs suggest a bookish, cultured atmosphere suited to formal communication and established brands.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances elegance with readability. It prioritizes a familiar, historically rooted silhouette and a disciplined rhythm for editorial and literary typography, while offering enough sharpness and contrast to feel premium in display settings.
Large sizes highlight the graceful transitions from thick to thin, especially in round letters and diagonals, while small sizes will depend on adequate spacing and print/screen conditions to preserve the hairlines. The italic is not shown; the sample indicates a consistent, steady roman texture with clear word shapes and a measured, literary color.
