A crisp, high-contrast serif with slender hairlines and slightly weighty vertical stems, giving it a sharp, engraved rhythm. Serifs are small and bracketed with gentle curvature, and terminals often finish in tapered, subtly flared strokes. Proportions feel traditional: capitals are stately and moderately wide, while the lowercase shows compact bowls, clear apertures, and a consistent baseline presence. The numerals follow the same contrast and modulation, with elegant curves and fine joins that read cleanly at display and text sizes.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as book interiors and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively in magazine headlines, pull quotes, and refined brand materials—especially when paired with ample leading to preserve the delicate hairlines.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, leaning toward classic print typography. Its contrast and fine detailing convey refinement and a sense of heritage, while the crisp shaping keeps it authoritative rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, print-forward serif with pronounced contrast and restrained detailing, prioritizing an elegant reading texture and a classic typographic voice.
Several glyphs show pronounced stroke modulation and tapered joins (notably in curved letters and diagonals), creating a lively texture in paragraph settings. The italic is not shown; all samples appear in an upright roman style.
