This is a sturdy, text-oriented serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and smoothly bracketed serifs. Curves are generous and slightly calligraphic, with noticeable ball and teardrop terminals on several lowercase forms, giving the design a warm, traditional rhythm. The lowercase is compact and consistent, with a moderate x-height and clear differentiation between round and straight-sided letters; capitals feel weighty and stable with broad proportions. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and lively contours, reinforcing a bookish, classical texture in running text.
It suits book interiors, long-form editorial layouts, and other print-forward typography where a classic serif voice is desired. The robust capitals and strong contrast also make it effective for titles, chapter heads, and pull quotes, especially when a traditional, reputable tone is important.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a distinctly literary, editorial feel. Its strong contrast and confident serifs convey seriousness and credibility, while the rounded terminals add a hint of warmth rather than austerity.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif that leans on classic book typographic cues—bracketed serifs, calligraphic contrast, and oldstyle numerals—to produce a familiar, trustworthy texture in text while still holding up for display use at larger sizes.
In the sample text, the type builds a dark, even paragraph color at larger sizes, with crisp interior counters and a steady baseline. The italics are not shown; all impressions are based on the upright roman forms displayed.
