This is a high-contrast serif with tapered, bracketed serifs and a pronounced thick–thin modulation that gives strokes a crisp, engraved feel. Proportions are balanced and text-oriented, with moderate ascenders and descenders and a steady baseline rhythm. Round letters are smoothly modeled with clear stress, while joins and terminals stay sharp and disciplined. The lowercase shows traditional, slightly calligraphic construction with compact counters and a calm, even texture in paragraph settings.
It is well suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine features where a classic serif texture is desired. The strong contrast and clean detailing also make it effective for elegant headlines, pull quotes, and formal front matter when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography, editorial seriousness, and established institutions. Its sharp contrast and neat finishing add a sense of refinement and authority without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, workhorse text serif with a polished, classical voice—aiming for readability at text sizes while retaining enough contrast and sharpness to feel premium in display use.
Caps read stately and slightly narrow in feel, while the lowercase maintains a comfortable, readable cadence. Numerals and punctuation match the same crisp contrast and serif treatment, supporting continuous text and formal settings.
