This is a traditional serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed wedge-like serifs. Capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with a relatively wide, open C/G and a rounded O that keeps the counters generous. The lowercase shows compact, readable forms with sturdy verticals and tapered terminals; the two-storey a and g reinforce an editorial text-serifs feel. Numerals are old-style in spirit but drawn with clean, contemporary sharpness—notice the strong curves and firm, flat bases on figures like 2 and 5.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts, where its classical proportions and strong serif structure support comfortable scanning. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and formal titling that benefits from high-contrast elegance.
The overall tone is classic and literary, conveying formality and trust without feeling ornate. Its contrast and sharp finishing add a refined, slightly ceremonial voice that suits established institutions and serious reading contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif that balances traditional book typography cues with crisp, modern drawing. The goal seems to be dependable readability paired with a refined, authoritative presence for editorial and literary use.
In the text sample, the rhythm is steady and the spacing feels comfortable, with clear word shapes and distinct letterforms (notably the differentiated I/J and the open apertures in c/e). The contrast reads best at text and display sizes where the hairlines remain visible, and the serifs provide a clear baseline and line-to-line structure.
