This is a high-contrast serif with sharp, bracketed serifs and tapered, calligraphic stroke endings. Capitals are tall and stately with narrow joins and crisp wedge-like terminals, while lowercase forms show a traditional text-face rhythm with relatively compact bowls and clear differentiation between thick and thin strokes. Curves exhibit a subtle diagonal stress, and details like the ear on “g” and the curved tail of “Q” reinforce a classic, book-oriented construction. The numerals read as oldstyle figures with varying heights and prominent contrast, matching the texty, editorial texture of the letters.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired. It can also support formal titling and headings, especially in print-oriented compositions where its sharp serifs and contrast can be appreciated.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking established publishing and academic typography. Its crisp serifs and pronounced contrast give it a refined, slightly formal presence without feeling ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, book-centric serif that prioritizes familiar proportions and a refined, historical feel. Its oldstyle-style numerals and calligraphic contrast suggest an emphasis on traditional typography and comfortable, literary setting.
In running text the face produces a lively dark–light pattern due to the strong contrast and pointed terminals. Round letters (O/C/G) are generously proportioned compared to straighter forms, and the design maintains a consistent, conventional serif voice across caps, lowercase, and figures.
