A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply defined, bracketed serifs. The forms show a traditional, bookish construction: capitals are proportioned and steady, with tapered diagonals and pointed terminals where appropriate, while the lowercase keeps a compact x-height and relatively tall ascenders/descenders. Curves are clean and slightly calligraphic, with noticeable stress in round letters, and overall spacing feels even and text-oriented rather than display-tight. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and clear stroke endings that match the roman’s rhythm.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is desired, especially for chapters, pull quotes, and larger reading sizes. It also fits magazine headlines and refined branding applications that benefit from high contrast and classic roman proportions.
The overall tone is classical and authoritative, evoking conventional print typography and an editorial sensibility. Its high contrast and crisp detailing read as refined and serious, suitable for settings where tradition and clarity are valued.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-centric text serif with a refined, high-contrast finish—aiming for an established, literary feel while remaining readable and controlled in setting.
In the sample text, the face maintains a consistent rhythm at larger sizes, with strong word-shape differentiation aided by the short x-height and lively ascenders. The design balances sharpness (at terminals and serifs) with smooth, controlled curves, creating a polished, engraved-like finish without becoming overly ornate.
