This serif presents crisp, high-contrast strokes with clearly bracketed, wedge-like serifs that taper into the stems. Capitals are broad and steady with smooth curves and sharp terminals, while the lowercase shows a restrained, bookish construction with moderate x-height and open counters. Round letters (C, O, Q) are cleanly drawn with a controlled axis and thin hairlines, and the overall rhythm is even and composed, balancing sturdy verticals with delicate horizontals.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial work, and magazine layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also performs well for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or cultural branding that benefits from a classic, authoritative texture.
The tone is classical and editorial, suggesting authority and refinement rather than novelty. Its contrast and sharp finishing details give it a dignified, print-oriented feel that reads as literary and traditional.
The design intention appears to be a conventional text serif with a refined, print-classical vocabulary: strong vertical structure, elegant hairlines, and bracketed serifs aimed at producing a familiar, readable page color with a touch of formality.
Numerals are oldstyle in character, with varied heights and descenders that add a texty, typographic color in running copy. The italic is not shown; all samples appear roman, with consistent spacing and a calm, slightly generous horizontal footprint.
