This serif typeface shows clear modulation between thick and thin strokes, with crisp, bracketed serifs and a steady upright stance. Capitals are spacious and evenly proportioned, with a traditional Roman structure and clean, confident terminals. Lowercase forms read as oldstyle-leaning, with open counters, a two-storey “a,” and a lively, slightly calligraphic rhythm that keeps text from feeling rigid. Numerals align comfortably with the text color and maintain the same contrast and serif detailing, supporting consistent setting across mixed content.
It is well suited to body text in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice and strong readability are expected. It can also serve well in academic or professional documents, and for headings or pull quotes when a classic, authoritative impression is desired.
Overall it conveys a classic, bookish tone with a refined, authoritative voice. The contrast and sharp finishing details add a sense of polish and seriousness, while the slightly humanist movement in the lowercase keeps it approachable for continuous reading.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a classic Roman foundation, aiming for reliable readability and a polished page color. Its high-contrast modulation and bracketed serifs suggest a focus on elegant text setting that remains sturdy across paragraphs and mixed-case typography.
The texture in paragraph setting appears even and well controlled, with clear differentiation between similar shapes (for example, the forms of I/J and O/Q) and sturdy punctuation presence. The design favors clarity and tradition over novelty, creating a familiar typographic color suitable for long-form text.
