This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp hairlines and bracketed wedge serifs. Capitals are proportionally classical with generous internal space in round forms (C, O, Q) and sharp, tapered terminals on diagonals (V, W, Y). The lowercase follows an oldstyle rhythm: a two-storey a, a looped g with a clear ear, a sturdy two-storey e, and a gently curved italic-less (upright) construction throughout. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, while stems remain straight and clean, producing a consistent, even texture in text.
Well-suited to book typography and long-form reading where a classic serif texture is desired. It also fits magazine layouts, headlines paired with a neutral sans, and brand systems that need a traditional, cultivated voice.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, suggesting authority and polish without feeling rigid. Its contrast and tapered details lend a refined, editorial character that reads as established and trustworthy.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a classic, book-oriented construction, combining strong stroke contrast and bracketed serifs to achieve clarity, elegance, and a familiar reading rhythm.
Figures appear lining with notable contrast and elegant curves; rounded numerals (6, 8, 9) are open and flowing, while straighter forms (1, 4, 7) are crisp and structured. Spacing in the sample text looks balanced, with clear word shapes and a steady baseline presence that supports continuous reading.
