This serif shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with a crisp, sculpted feel and tightly controlled curves. Serifs are clearly bracketed and often sharpen into small wedge-like terminals, giving strokes a slightly calligraphic finish rather than a purely mechanical one. Proportions are conventional with steady caps, moderate ascenders, and round forms that stay compact; counters are clean and fairly open for a high-contrast design. Numerals follow the same formal rhythm, with a strong vertical emphasis and tapered details that keep the texture lively in text.
Well-suited to long-form reading and editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs convincingly for headings, pull quotes, and formal communications, particularly when set with comfortable leading to let the contrast and sharp terminals breathe.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a refined, bookish authority. Its sharp, high-contrast detailing adds a sense of formality and polish that reads as editorial and institutional rather than casual.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, trustworthy text serif with elevated contrast and a slightly calligraphic finish, balancing classic proportions with crisp detail for an elegant printed-page impression.
In text, the high contrast and pointed terminals create a sparkling page color, especially at larger sizes, while the bracketed serifs help maintain continuity across words. The italics are not shown, but the roman exhibits subtle calligraphic cues in joins and terminals that keep it from feeling overly rigid.
