This typeface is a conventional text serif with bracketed serifs, pronounced stroke contrast, and a gently calligraphic modulation. Capitals are stately and fairly wide with crisp, tapering terminals, while the lowercase shows a traditional rhythm with moderate ascenders/descenders and a softly angled stress in rounded letters. Serifs are sharp but not brittle, with smooth bracketing that supports continuous reading. Numerals appear oldstyle (with varying heights and descenders), reinforcing a bookish, classical texture in mixed text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also work for formal headings, pull quotes, and institutional print materials, especially when paired with generous leading and comfortable measure.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a composed, institutional feel. Its high-contrast serif detailing gives it a refined, slightly formal voice that reads as trustworthy and established rather than trendy or playful.
The design appears intended as a dependable, classic reading face that evokes traditional publishing conventions. Its combination of crisp contrast, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle figures suggests a focus on elegant text color and a mature, editorial presence.
Curves are clean and evenly tensioned, with a noticeable elegance in letters like the capital Q’s tail and the compact, looped lowercase g. The italic is not shown; all samples present an upright roman that prioritizes clarity and typographic tradition.
