A conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and softly bracketed serifs. The letterforms show an oldstyle influence: moderate stress in rounded shapes, sturdy serifs, and slightly organic curves that keep the color lively in text. Uppercase proportions feel generous and somewhat wide, while lowercase forms are compact and readable with a steady rhythm. Numerals are lining and similarly high-contrast, with clear, open counters and traditional detailing.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a traditional serif texture is desirable. It can also serve effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and section titling, especially in publications aiming for a classic or literary tone.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a confident, established voice. Its contrast and serif shaping add a formal, slightly historical character that reads as editorial and authoritative rather than minimalist or purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an oldstyle-leaning feel, balancing strong contrast and traditional serif construction for a familiar, authoritative reading experience across text and larger sizes.
In the sample text, the face holds up well at larger sizes, where the sharp contrast and bracketed serifs become a defining stylistic feature. The curves and terminals avoid extreme crispness, giving the design a grounded, traditional texture that suits continuous reading and display titling alike.
