A conventional serif with clear calligraphic stress and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are bracketed and tapered rather than blocky, with crisp wedge-like terminals on many strokes. The lowercase shows a two-storey “a” and “g,” a moderately sized x-height, and compact, well-contained counters that read cleanly in text. Capitals are sturdy and slightly wide in feel, with classic proportions and a steady rhythm; numerals include oldstyle forms that introduce vertical variety within text settings.
Well suited for long-form reading and editorial typography where a classic serif texture is desired, including books, essays, and magazine articles. It also performs convincingly for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or academic materials that benefit from a traditional voice.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a quietly elegant, bookish character. Its high-contrast structure and sharpened serifs give it a refined, editorial presence suited to serious or heritage-leaning typography.
The design appears aimed at a timeless reading serif: a familiar, traditional structure paired with high-contrast refinement and bracketed serifs to produce a polished, authoritative page color for both text and display use.
In the sample text, the face maintains a consistent texture and strong word shapes, with punctuation and joins that stay crisp at display sizes. The oldstyle numerals and the more calligraphic lowercase details add a slightly literary flavor without becoming decorative.
