A crisp serif with pronounced stroke contrast and bracketed serifs, balancing sharp terminals with softly cupped joins. Capitals are stately and well-proportioned with a traditional, slightly sculpted feel; round letters (C, O, Q) show smooth, controlled curvature. The lowercase maintains a steady, readable rhythm with clear counters and conventional forms, while numerals mix lining proportions with oldstyle influences, including a descending 9 and a more calligraphic 4. Overall spacing feels even and text-ready, producing a composed, consistent color in paragraphs.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and newspaper-style layouts where a familiar serif voice and strong contrast aid hierarchy. It also works for headlines, pull quotes, and formal communications that benefit from a polished, traditional tone.
The tone is classic and editorial, with a bookish authority that reads as established and trustworthy. Its contrast and refined detailing add a sense of polish and formality without feeling ornamental.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and an established, literary voice, pairing classic proportions with crisp contrast for clear hierarchy across text and display sizes.
Details such as the strong hairline-to-stem transitions, the crisp top serifs on verticals, and the slightly calligraphic inflections in curves (notably in S and the figures) contribute to a traditional print-like character. The large-size sample shows clean word shapes and stable alignment, supporting comfortable continuous reading.
