A classic serif with strong thick–thin modulation and bracketed wedge serifs. The capitals are stately and proportioned with moderate width, while the lowercase shows oldstyle influence with subtly angled stress, tapered strokes, and generous, open counters. Curves transition smoothly into stems, terminals are crisp without being overly sharp, and spacing reads even and text-oriented. Numerals appear lining with similar contrast and a traditional, bookish rhythm.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine features where a familiar serif texture is desired. It can also serve in formal branding, invitations, and institutional materials, especially for headlines and subheads paired with a neutral sans for contrast.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, evoking editorial typography, print heritage, and institutional clarity. Its high-contrast strokes and measured proportions convey refinement and authority without feeling ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable text serif that balances classical proportions with strong contrast for a polished page color. Its forms suggest an emphasis on traditional print typography and dependable editorial voice.
Diagonal strokes (as in V/W/X/Y) feel clean and decisive, while round letters maintain a consistent internal color and comfortable readability. The italic is not shown; all samples appear upright and steady in paragraph settings.
