This serif typeface shows pronounced stroke modulation with clear thick–thin transitions and gently bracketed wedge-like serifs. Curves exhibit an oldstyle, calligraphic feel, with rounded joins and slightly tapered terminals that keep forms lively rather than rigidly geometric. Proportions are balanced for text, with moderate ascenders/descenders and open counters; the lowercase includes a two-storey “a” and “g,” a sturdy “t” with a compact crossbar, and numerals that align comfortably with the text color. Overall rhythm is even, producing a dark-but-controlled paragraph texture suitable for continuous reading.
It is well suited to book interiors, long-form editorial, and magazine features where a traditional serif texture and strong hierarchy are desired. The robust capitals and high-contrast detailing also make it effective for chapter titles, deck heads, and pull quotes when set at larger sizes.
The tone is bookish and established, evoking traditional publishing and editorial typography. Its high-contrast elegance reads as refined and trustworthy, with enough warmth in the curves to feel human rather than austere. The presence of crisp serifs and formal capitals lends an authoritative voice for headings and pull quotes.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a classic, literary voice—combining strong contrast and crisp serifs with humanist shaping to maintain readability and a refined page color.
Uppercase letters maintain a dignified, slightly classical stance, while the lowercase shows subtle width variation and lively bowls that prevent monotony in longer passages. Diacritics and punctuation appear clean and conventional in the sample, supporting a straightforward, editorial presentation.
