This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed wedge-like serifs that feel carved rather than slabby. Capitals are stately and relatively narrow with crisp terminals, while the lowercase has a traditional, slightly calligraphic construction with a two-storey “g,” compact bowls, and tapered joins. The rhythm is even and text-oriented, with clear counters and a balanced color that stays readable in paragraph settings despite the strong contrast.
It works well for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its conventional serif structure and steady spacing support comfortable flow. The high-contrast strokes and crisp serifs also make it suitable for headings, pull quotes, and formal documents that benefit from a traditional typographic voice.
Overall it conveys a classic, literary tone—measured and authoritative, with a refined, editorial polish. The sharp serifs and traditional proportions give it a formal presence suited to established, conventional typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional, book-centered serif that balances elegance with practicality. It emphasizes classical proportions and strong contrast to deliver an established, trustworthy look in both text and modest display sizes.
The italics are not shown; the sample demonstrates upright roman forms with sturdy verticals and graceful, slightly cupped serifs. Numerals appear lining and proportioned to sit comfortably alongside capitals, reinforcing a traditional text-and-display versatility.
