A classic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a vertical, upright posture with controlled, slightly calligraphic stress and smooth transitions into serifs. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase has a traditional rhythm with open counters and clearly differentiated shapes (notably the two-storey a and g). Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varied heights and ascenders/descenders, contributing to a text-oriented texture.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as book interiors, essays, and journal content, where its traditional proportions and clear counters support sustained legibility. It also works effectively for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding that needs a conservative, established typographic voice.
The overall tone feels traditional and bookish, with an air of authority and refinement. Its contrast and sharp finishing details create a dignified, formal voice that suits established editorial and institutional settings rather than casual or playful contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes classical proportions, strong contrast, and clear, familiar letterforms. Its inclusion of oldstyle numerals and a measured, literary texture suggests a focus on comfortable reading and typographic tradition in editorial settings.
Curves and joins are clean and consistent, giving paragraphs a smooth, even color despite the strong contrast. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates that spacing and word shapes read clearly at display-to-text sizes, with punctuation and ampersand matching the same classical serif sensibility.
