This serif typeface shows pronounced stroke contrast with crisp, bracketed serifs and a slightly sculpted, calligraphic modulation. Curves are smooth and full, while terminals tend toward tapered, wedge-like finishes that keep the color lively without feeling sharp or brittle. The proportions read generously set, with open counters and a steady rhythm in text; lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, and the overall spacing supports comfortable paragraph flow. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and descenders that integrate naturally with running text.
It is well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where the contrast and bracketed serifs help guide the eye across lines. The strong top-line presence and sculpted details also make it effective for display use such as headlines, pull quotes, and section openers in print or high-resolution digital contexts.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, conveying a bookish, established voice with a refined finish. Its contrast and serif detailing add a sense of craft and tradition, making it feel appropriate for serious, content-forward typography rather than utilitarian UI styling.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with elevated contrast and carefully shaped serifs, aiming for a refined, authoritative reading experience. Its oldstyle numerals and traditional letterforms suggest an emphasis on typographic continuity in editorial and literary work.
The italics are not shown; the samples emphasize the roman’s strong serif presence, lively modulation, and a slightly dynamic baseline feel created by tapered joins and expressive terminals. The lowercase “g” is double-storey and the “a” is double-storey, reinforcing a conventional text-serif character.
