This serif typeface shows strong stroke contrast with sharp, wedge-like terminals and subtly bracketed serifs. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow with clean, crisp joins, while the lowercase has an oldstyle flavor: a two-storey “a,” a compact “e,” and a lively “g” with a pronounced ear and rounded lower bowl. Curves are smoothly modulated and the spacing feels even, producing a steady text rhythm without looking rigid.
It suits long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. The crisp contrast and well-shaped capitals also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, and conservative branding systems that need a polished, traditional tone.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking editorial and book typography. It feels formal and trustworthy, with a refined sharpness that reads as academic or institutional rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional, literature-oriented serif that balances classical proportions with crisp, modern engraving-like edges. It prioritizes a composed text rhythm and a familiar typographic voice for general-purpose publishing.
Numerals appear lining and well-proportioned, with clear contrast and classical shapes (notably the “2” and “3” with strong top strokes and the “4” with an open form). The italic is not shown; the upright forms carry enough calligraphic modulation to keep large text from feeling sterile.
