A high-contrast serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a largely vertical stress. Stems are sturdy against very fine hairlines, creating sharp joins and a bright, rhythmic texture in text. Proportions feel traditional: capitals are stately and slightly narrow, while lowercase forms are compact with clear counters and neatly controlled terminals. The italics are not shown; the overall impression is a clean, upright roman with carefully tapered strokes and balanced spacing.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and literary publishing, and equally at home in magazines and editorial layouts where contrast can add sophistication. It also fits brand applications like premium packaging or institutional communications when a traditional, authoritative serif voice is needed.
The tone is classic and polished, projecting an editorial, bookish authority. Its sharp contrast and controlled detailing lend a refined, slightly formal character suited to serious or heritage-leaning typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly polished text serif that prioritizes readability while delivering a refined, high-contrast finish for editorial elegance.
The numeral set appears lining with strong verticality and clear differentiation, matching the roman’s contrast and serif treatment. In the text sample, the font maintains a composed color and consistent cadence, with hairlines that add sparkle at larger sizes.
