A traditional serif with bracketed serifs, gently modulated strokes, and a crisp, slightly calligraphic finish. Capitals are tall and relatively slender, with generous interior space in round forms (C, O, Q) and sharp, tapered terminals on diagonals (V, W, X, Y). The lowercase shows a notably small x-height with prominent ascenders and descenders, producing a high-waisted rhythm; apertures remain fairly open, while details like the angled head serifs and subtle tapering give the face a lively, engraved-like texture in text. Numerals and punctuation follow the same restrained modulation, keeping an even, classical color across lines.
Well suited to book interiors, long-form editorial, and literary or academic materials where a classic serif voice is desired. It also performs well for display lines—chapter openers, pull quotes, and refined headlines—especially when you want pronounced capitals and a traditional page color.
The overall tone is dignified and literary, evoking traditional print typography and editorial gravitas. Its sharp terminals and tall proportions add a touch of drama and ceremony without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, print-minded serif that prioritizes classical proportions and a refined, slightly calligraphic texture. Its small x-height and emphatic capitals suggest a focus on elegant typography for editorial and formal settings rather than utilitarian UI text.
In the sample text, the small x-height and tall capitals make mixed-case settings feel airy and classical, with uppercase initials and proper nouns taking strong visual emphasis. The serif shaping is consistent across straight and curved strokes, and the figures read clearly with a slightly old-style flavor in their curves and hooks.
