This serif typeface shows crisp, bracketed serifs and a pronounced thick–thin stroke modulation that reads cleanly at display and text sizes. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with sharp apexes (A, V, W) and smooth, rounded bowls (B, D, O) that keep the rhythm calm rather than calligraphic. The lowercase has compact, well-contained shapes with clear counters and vertical stress; details like the two-storey a, the open e with a firm crossbar, and the earless g with a generous lower loop contribute to a controlled, traditional texture. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel through their varied forms and elegant curves, matching the letterforms’ contrast and serif treatment.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books and essays, as well as editorial layouts where a polished serif texture is needed. The contrast and crisp serifs also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and formal stationery where a refined, traditional impression is desired.
The overall tone is composed and cultivated, suggesting print tradition and editorial authority. Its sharp contrast and tidy finishing give it a slightly luxurious edge, while the conventional proportions keep it dependable and readable.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, high-contrast serif with an editorial sensibility: classical proportions, disciplined detailing, and a smooth reading rhythm that feels at home in print-oriented typography.
Spacing appears measured and even, producing a smooth paragraph color in the sample text without looking rigid. The ampersand and punctuation carry the same restrained, high-contrast detailing, reinforcing a cohesive, classical voice.
