A crisp serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed, tapered serifs. The capitals are relatively tall and elegantly proportioned, with narrow crossbars and smooth, calligraphic curves in bowls and rounds. Lowercase forms show a moderate x-height with compact, well-contained counters and a two-storey “a” paired with a double-storey “g,” giving the text a conventional book-face rhythm. Numerals sit comfortably with the letters and follow the same high-contrast, serifed construction for a cohesive texture.
This style is well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where traditional serif structure supports comfortable scanning. It also performs well for magazine headings, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural branding that benefits from a refined, established voice.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, projecting a measured, literary seriousness rather than a casual or playful voice. Its contrast and sharp detailing add a sense of polish and authority, suited to contexts where a classic, edited look is desired.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast serif for polished text setting, balancing classical proportions with clean, contemporary drawing. Its consistent serif treatment and restrained rhythm suggest a focus on dependable readability and an editorially familiar typographic color.
Spacing appears even and restrained, producing a steady line of text with a slightly airy, elegant color rather than a dense block. Detailing stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, with clear joins and controlled terminals that keep the forms orderly at display and text sizes.
