This typeface is a traditional serif with clear vertical stress and pronounced stroke modulation. Serifs are finely bracketed and often end in sharp, slightly tapered terminals, giving the letters a crisp, carved quality. Capitals are tall and stately with generous inner counters (notably in C, O, and G), while lowercase forms keep a conventional, readable structure with sturdy stems and open apertures. The rhythm is even and text-oriented, with moderate sidebearings and an overall smooth, editorial texture at paragraph sizes.
It is well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its familiar forms and controlled contrast support continuous text. The strong, elegant capitals also make it effective for chapter titles, pull quotes, and refined headings in magazines or academic publishing.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking book typography and established publishing conventions. Its crisp terminals and polished contrast add a refined, formal voice that feels appropriate for serious, considered content rather than casual or playful settings.
The design intention appears to be a faithful, contemporary take on conventional book serifs: prioritizing legibility and a steady reading rhythm while adding a touch of sharpness and refinement through crisp terminals and confident contrast.
The numerals show a traditional, text-friendly feel with noticeable contrast and distinctive shapes (e.g., a curled 2 and a round, open 3), supporting running text and headings alike. The italic is not shown; all samples appear in roman.
