This is a high-contrast serif with bracketed wedge serifs and an oldstyle, calligraphic underpinning. Strokes transition from fine hairlines to sturdy stems, with gently curved joins and moderate, well-controlled modulation. Proportions are classical and steady, with open counters and a comfortable x-height; the round letters are slightly oval and the spacing reads even in continuous text. Details like the angled cross-strokes, tapered terminals, and softly flared serifs give the design a lively rhythm without becoming ornate.
It suits book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where an even reading rhythm and a classic serif voice are desirable. It also works well for academic or institutional materials, pull quotes, and headings that benefit from a traditional, high-contrast text serif.
The tone is traditional and bookish, conveying authority and refinement in a familiar, comfortable way. It feels established and editorial—more literary than corporate—while retaining enough warmth to stay approachable across longer passages.
The design intention appears to be a conventional, time-tested text face with a calligraphic flavor—aimed at producing a dark, confident text color and a familiar literary tone while keeping forms clean and highly readable.
The figures appear lining with pronounced contrast and strong vertical stress, matching the text color of the capitals. Lowercase forms maintain a consistent texture, and the italics are not shown; overall, the design prioritizes clarity and a composed, print-like presence.
