A crisp serif with pronounced stroke contrast, fine hairlines, and bracketed wedge-like terminals. Curves are smooth and fairly open, with moderately narrow counters in letters like a, e, and s, giving a composed texture in paragraphs. Uppercase forms feel stately and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows traditional construction with a two-storey a, a compact two-storey g, and a sharply defined ear. Numerals appear text-oriented with strong vertical stress and clear differentiation, maintaining the same high-contrast rhythm.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also support display roles—chapter titles, pull quotes, and refined headlines—especially when paired with generous leading to let the fine hairlines breathe.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, conveying seriousness and credibility. Its sharp finishing and controlled modulation add a refined, slightly dramatic flavor suited to established, institutional typography rather than casual or playful settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, literature-friendly serif texture with a polished, high-contrast finish. It prioritizes a familiar typographic voice and a composed page color for editorial and book typography.
In the sample text, the font maintains a consistent baseline and steady spacing, producing a dense but readable color typical of classic book serifs. The italics are not shown; the displayed roman emphasizes clarity through crisp serifs and deliberate contrast transitions.
