This is a conventional serif with pronounced stroke modulation and bracketed wedge-like serifs. Stems feel sturdy while hairlines taper sharply, creating a crisp light–dark rhythm across words. Curves are softly drawn rather than geometric, with slightly flared terminals and a subtle handwritten influence in places (notably in the S, a, and e). Proportions lean spacious with broad capitals and comfortable internal counters, producing an open texture in text.
It suits editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors, especially when a traditional serif voice is desired. The strong contrast and sculpted serifs also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and identity systems that want a classic, cultured tone.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a confident, editorial voice. Its high-contrast stress and sharp finishing details add a sense of formality and heritage, while the slightly lively curves keep it from feeling overly rigid.
The design appears intended as a familiar, readable text serif with elevated contrast and refined finishing, balancing classical proportions with mildly calligraphic shaping to add character without sacrificing clarity.
Spacing reads generous and the word shapes remain clear at display sizes, with distinctive forms for letters like J, Q, and the two-storey g. Numerals follow the same contrast and serif treatment, looking suited to running text rather than purely tabular use.
