This serif typeface shows crisp, bracketed serifs and a clean, lightly built color with moderate stroke modulation. Uppercase forms are tall and composed, with finely tapered terminals on letters like C, E, and S and a stately, open-bowled G. The lowercase has a traditional text rhythm with a two-storey a, a compact e, and a distinctive g that uses a closed upper bowl and a generous lower loop; ascenders are relatively tall, contributing to a refined vertical cadence. Numerals read as oldstyle figures, mixing ascenders and descenders that blend naturally into running text.
It is well suited to book interiors, essays, and other longform reading where a traditional serif texture is desired. The uppercase and numerals also work effectively for chapter openers, headings, and pull quotes where a restrained, classical voice is appropriate.
Overall it conveys a classic, bookish tone—measured and authoritative rather than decorative. The fine serifs and controlled contrast add a sense of formality and tradition, suitable for polished editorial settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a restrained, editorial personality—prioritizing readability, familiar proportions, and a refined typographic finish for continuous reading and publishing workflows.
The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates strong readability at display sizes and a calm line texture with clear counters. Letterforms like Q and R include subtle calligraphic touches in their tails and legs that add character without disrupting consistency.
