This serif has a traditional, book-oriented build with bracketed, tapered serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves are smoothly modeled and slightly calligraphic, with rounded terminals and a steady, upright stance. Capitals show sturdy proportions and clear hierarchy, while lowercase forms lean toward oldstyle construction (notably the two-storey a and g and a diagonal e crossbar) with open counters that hold up well in continuous text. Figures appear lining with strong contrast and distinctive curves, giving numerals a lively, engraved feel.
It is well suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine work where a traditional serif voice is desired. The strong contrast and sturdy caps also make it effective for display sizes such as headlines, pull quotes, and section openers, while remaining comfortable for text when set with appropriate leading.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting a composed, authoritative voice associated with books, newspapers, and formal publishing. Its contrast and refined detailing add a touch of sophistication, while the open shapes keep it readable rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-quality text serif with classical proportions and confident contrast, balancing refinement for print-centric settings with practical readability for paragraphs and multi-line copy.
Spacing and rhythm read evenly in the sample paragraph, with a crisp vertical emphasis and clear word shapes. The italic is not shown; the impressions here are based on the roman only.
