This serif typeface shows clear oldstyle influence with bracketed serifs, tapered strokes, and a pronounced contrast between thick stems and fine hairlines. Proportions are moderately compact with a steady rhythm and slightly calligraphic modulation, giving letters a sculpted, bookish texture rather than a purely mechanical feel. Uppercase forms are well balanced and traditional, while the lowercase features rounded bowls, a two-storey “g,” and a gently descending “y” with a curved tail; numerals include both straight and curved terminals that match the overall serif logic.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, as well as literature, academic material, and other typography that benefits from a traditional serif voice. It can also support headlines and pull quotes when a classic, refined tone is desired.
The overall tone is classical and cultured, with a calm authority suited to serious reading and traditional publishing. Its sharp hairlines and bracketed details add a sense of refinement and formality without feeling ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and an established, literary character. Its mix of sturdy main strokes and delicate finishing details suggests an aim to evoke classical book typography with a polished, contemporary consistency.
In text, the contrast and fine detailing become more apparent, producing a crisp color that benefits from comfortable sizes and adequate spacing. Curved joins and subtly varied terminal shapes keep the texture lively, while maintaining a conservative, conventional voice.
