A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a pronounced thick–thin modulation throughout. Capitals are stately and proportioned with ample bowls and clear, well-defined joins, while the lowercase shows a relatively small x-height with long ascenders and descenders that create an elegant vertical rhythm. Curves are smooth and controlled, terminals tend toward tapered or subtly pointed finishes, and the overall color stays even despite the lively stroke contrast. Figures appear lining and serifed, matching the text style and maintaining the same refined contrast and detailing.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine features where a classic serif voice is desired. It also fits formal communication such as programs, invitations, and institutional branding, and can be effective for headlines and pull quotes when a refined, traditional emphasis is needed.
The tone is classical and bookish, evoking traditional publishing, academia, and formal stationery. Its sharp detailing and elevated contrast convey seriousness and polish rather than warmth or informality.
The design appears aimed at a conventional, highly legible text serif with elevated contrast and classic proportions, balancing sharp detailing with steady rhythm for reading-intensive settings.
At text sizes the compact x-height and strong contrast give a distinctly editorial feel, while the crisp serifs and narrow joins add a slightly incisive, engraved character. The italic is not shown, so the style reads as a straightforward, upright text face intended to carry long-form typography with a traditional voice.
