This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, bracketed serifs and a steady, upright stance. Proportions feel traditional with moderate x-height, generous ascenders, and round, open counters, while curves transition into stems with a subtly calligraphic tension. The rhythm is even and readable in text, with refined terminals and a slightly lively baseline presence, especially in the lowercase where bowls and joins have gentle, organic shaping.
It performs well in continuous reading settings such as books and long-form editorial, where its clear contrast and structured serifs support comfortable scanning. It can also serve effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal typography in print or high-resolution digital layouts.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, conveying formality and credibility without feeling overly ornate. Its high-contrast strokes and crisp serifs give it an editorial, established voice suited to traditional publishing and institutional contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif optimized for clarity and a timeless publishing aesthetic, balancing high-contrast refinement with sturdy, familiar letterforms. Its details suggest an aim toward dependable readability while maintaining an elegant, traditional finish.
Capitals read stately and measured, with clear differentiation across similar forms, while the numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and feel well integrated for running text. The lowercase includes distinctive, traditional details (such as a two-storey g and a serifed, slightly hooked j), reinforcing its conventional text-serif character.
