A conventional serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a noticeably high stroke-contrast that gives vertical stems visual prominence. Curves are smooth and fairly taut, with pointed or tapered terminals on letters like C, G, S, and a distinctive Q featuring a leftward, sweeping tail. Capitals feel proportionally broad and stable, while lowercase forms maintain clear counters and a measured rhythm suited to continuous reading. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with elegant curves on 2, 3, 6, 8, and 9 and more upright, structured forms on 1, 4, and 7.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for headings and pull quotes, pairing its refined contrast with generous leading for a composed, traditional page color.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, evoking book typography and established editorial design. Its contrast and fine details add a sense of refinement and formality without becoming overly ornate.
Likely designed to provide a familiar, bookish serif texture with elevated contrast and clean detailing, balancing readability with a more refined, formal presence. The shapes aim for conventional proportions and dependable rhythm while adding elegance through tapered terminals and crisp serifs.
Spacing in the text sample reads even and composed, with a steady baseline and consistent serif treatment across cases. The high contrast and tapered details suggest it will look especially crisp at comfortable text sizes and in well-printed or high-resolution settings.
