This serif typeface shows pronounced stroke contrast with tapered joins and bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The curves are full and rounded, while terminals often finish in small teardrop or ball-like shapes, giving a subtly calligraphic texture. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and slightly wide, with clean, open counters; lowercase shows a traditional, oldstyle rhythm with a two-storey “a,” a compact “e,” and a double-storey “g” with a rounded ear. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic and read clearly, with refined, slightly flared finishing strokes.
Well-suited for book typography, long-form reading, and editorial layouts where a conventional serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively in headings and subheads, and in branding contexts that benefit from a traditional, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, projecting a formal, literary character rather than a modern or industrial one. Its sharp serifs and lively contrast add an elegant, slightly editorial flavor, suitable for content that wants a traditional, established voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar, readable text serif with refined contrast and a subtly calligraphic finish. Its details suggest a focus on classic typography conventions while adding enough personality in terminals and serifs to remain distinctive in display settings.
The text sample reveals a steady, even paragraph color with distinctive, crisp serifs that help define word shapes. Round letters (like o, c, e) maintain consistent curvature and contrast, while the ball terminals on forms like “f” and “j” add a recognizable signature at display and text sizes.
