This serif typeface shows strong stroke modulation with sharp, tapered serifs and clearly bracketed joins. Capitals are stately and open, with narrow hairlines and broader vertical stems that create a crisp, high-contrast rhythm. Lowercase forms feel traditional and slightly calligraphic, with a two-storey “a,” a compact “e” with a modest eye, and a “g” that reads as single-storey with a rounded bowl and a distinct ear. Numerals follow the same contrast pattern and sit comfortably with the text, combining sturdy stems with fine, pointed terminals.
It is well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial pages where a traditional serif voice is desired. The crisp contrast and dignified capitals also make it effective for chapter openings, headlines, pull quotes, and formal printed materials.
Overall, the font conveys a classic, bookish tone—measured and authoritative without feeling ornate. The high contrast and sharp finishing details lend it a refined, editorial character suited to serious, traditional typography.
The design intention appears to be a conventional, high-contrast text serif that prioritizes familiar proportions and an established literary feel. Its sharp serifs and controlled modulation aim to deliver elegance and clarity across both continuous text and display settings.
In the sample text, the type maintains a steady baseline and consistent color at reading sizes, while the fine hairlines and pointed serifs become more prominent as size increases. Curves (C, G, O, Q) are smooth and generously proportioned, and the design favors clear, conventional letterforms over eccentric details.
