This is a traditional serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a pronounced thick–thin rhythm. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with tapered joins and rounded terminals that keep counters open and readable. Proportions feel bookish rather than condensed, and spacing appears even, producing a steady horizontal texture in paragraphs. Numerals and capitals sit confidently with clear stroke contrast and controlled, upright posture.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its contrast and serif structure help guide the eye along lines of text. The sturdy capitals make it a solid choice for chapter titles, pull quotes, and magazine headlines that need a classical, established tone.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a formal, editorial voice. Its sharp serifs and measured contrast lend a sense of authority and polish, while the rounded details keep it from feeling overly rigid.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that balances elegance with dependable readability, echoing historical book faces while maintaining a clean, modern finish for contemporary publishing.
The lowercase shows a relatively traditional construction with a two-storey “a” and “g,” and a compact, readable “e” with a defined aperture. Capitals have restrained, conventional forms that align well for headings, and the figures look suited to running text where clarity matters.
