This is a conventional serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed wedge-like serifs. Curves are generous and open, with clear teardrop/ball terminals in places (notably on the lowercase). Proportions read as traditionally book-oriented: moderate x-height, sturdy capitals with wide bowls, and a rhythm that alternates crisp verticals with smoothly tapered joins. Numerals align with the same contrast and serif treatment, keeping the overall color even while preserving sharp detail at the terminals.
It is well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. The strong contrast and crisp serifs also make it effective for display sizes—chapter titles, pull quotes, and refined headlines—especially in print-oriented compositions.
The tone is classic and literary, with a composed, editorial voice. Its high-contrast strokes and refined terminals lend an authoritative, traditional feel suited to serious or heritage-leaning typography rather than casual or utilitarian work.
The design appears intended as a traditional, high-contrast text serif that balances readability with a cultivated, classical finish. It prioritizes familiar forms and a polished typographic color for professional publishing contexts.
Letterforms show a distinctly traditional construction: a two-storey “g,” a double-storey “a,” and a compact, sharp-shouldered “r,” all reinforcing a book-serif heritage. The uppercase “Q” features a clear, elegant tail, and the overall spacing in text reads steady and measured without feeling rigid.
