A classic serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The forms show smooth, calligraphic transitions between thick and thin, with gently tapered terminals and a consistent, even rhythm in text. Uppercase proportions feel slightly expansive with broad bowls and clear vertical stress; lowercase maintains a steady x-height with open counters and well-defined joins. Numerals are lining and proportioned to sit comfortably with the capitals, matching the same contrast and serif detailing.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine articles where a traditional serif texture is desired. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and formal collateral that benefits from a refined, classic typographic voice.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with a quiet authority typical of book and editorial typography. Its high-contrast detailing lends a refined, somewhat ceremonial voice, while the steady text color keeps it from feeling overly ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances elegance with readability, offering a familiar literary feel with polished finishing details and a composed typographic rhythm.
The italic is not shown; the presentation focuses on a roman style with clean punctuation and strong baseline discipline. At display sizes the sharp hairlines and serif shaping read particularly clearly, reinforcing an elegant, print-oriented character.
