This is a high-contrast serif with a crisp, classical construction and a slightly calligraphic, diagonal stress. Stems are robust while hairlines and crossbars thin down dramatically, and the serifs are bracketed with fine, pointed tips that stay sharp at joins. Capitals are proportioned with generous width and clean, open counters, while the lowercase shows a traditional text rhythm with a two-storey a and g and a compact, sturdy x-height. Numerals include oldstyle figures with varying heights and extenders, reinforcing a bookish texture and an elegant baseline flow.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its strong contrast and traditional proportions can create a refined page color. It also performs well for magazine features, cultural programs, and literary titling, and can add a formal, premium tone to invitations and event materials when set with ample leading.
The overall tone is polished and traditional, leaning toward literary and institutional rather than trendy or playful. Its contrast and delicacy convey sophistication and a sense of formality, with enough warmth in the curves to feel cultivated instead of rigid.
The design appears intended as a conventional, classical text serif that balances elegance with readability. Its high contrast, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle numerals point toward a book-and-editorial focus, aiming to deliver a composed, authoritative voice with a distinctly refined finish.
The italic is not shown; the roman exhibits careful modulation in curved letters (C, G, O, Q) and pronounced, elegant shaping in S and the diagonal forms. The ampersand and punctuation are not visible, but the letterforms shown suggest a disciplined, classical model intended for fluent reading and composed typography.
