This serif typeface shows pronounced thick–thin modulation with crisp, bracketed serifs and gently tapered terminals. The capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with traditional Roman construction and clear stroke contrast on curves (notably in C, G, O, and Q). Lowercase forms are compact and bookish, with a two-storey a and g, a relatively narrow, vertical stress, and a small, clean dot on i and j. Numerals appear text-oriented, with oldstyle figures that vary in height and include a descending 9, reinforcing a traditional reading rhythm.
It is well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine features, where a traditional serif texture is desired. The contrast and sharp details also make it effective for display settings like chapter titles, pull quotes, formal announcements, and refined branding that leans classic.
The overall tone is classic and formal, evoking editorial and literary traditions. Its high contrast and sharp finishing details add a refined, authoritative voice that feels suited to established, serious contexts rather than casual or utilitarian ones.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-contrast text serif with a polished, print-oriented feel. Its traditional proportions, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle numerals suggest an emphasis on familiar reading comfort and a historically grounded, editorial voice.
In the sample text, the color stays consistent and crisp, and the sharper serifs and contrast become more prominent at larger sizes. Rounded letters maintain smooth curves while straight strokes remain clean and upright, giving a composed, traditional texture across lines.
