A conventional serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin contrast. The letterforms show a calligraphic stress and a steady, text-oriented rhythm, with open counters and a slightly generous horizontal footprint. Terminals are crisp and often tapered, giving curves (notably in C, G, S, and the bowls) a clean, carved feel. The lowercase is bookish and balanced, with a two-storey a and g, and numerals that read as oldstyle figures with varying heights and descenders.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classical serif texture is desired. It also performs convincingly for display uses such as headlines, pull quotes, and title treatments that benefit from crisp contrast and traditional detailing.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a refined, editorial polish. Its high-contrast modulation and crisp finishing convey seriousness and a slightly literary, “printed page” character rather than a casual or utilitarian voice.
This design appears intended as a conventional, text-first serif that echoes classical printing and book typography, pairing readable proportions with a more polished, high-contrast finish for editorial sophistication.
In running text the strong contrast and sharp serifs create a clear vertical cadence and a lively sparkle, especially at larger sizes. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates a consistent roman texture with distinctive oldstyle numerals that add a classical flavor to mixed text settings.
