This serif typeface shows clear stroke modulation with a vertical, upright posture and bracketed serifs that taper to crisp, slightly flared terminals. The capitals are stately and evenly proportioned, with a traditional Roman construction and moderate contrast between thick and thin strokes. Lowercase forms keep a steady text rhythm, with a two-storey “a” and “g,” compact joins, and gently rounded bowls; spacing reads comfortable for continuous setting. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varying heights and extenders, reinforcing a bookish, editorial texture.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a familiar serif texture and clear hierarchy are desired. It also fits formal communications such as reports and academic material, and can support headlines or pull quotes when set with generous leading.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, projecting a dependable, literary voice. Its contrast and sharpened serifs lend a refined, slightly authoritative feel suited to serious reading and conventional typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif that prioritizes readability and a timeless, print-oriented voice, using contrast, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle numerals to evoke established book typography.
The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates consistent color at text sizes, with diagonal stress visible in rounded letters and a restrained, conventional detailing throughout. The mix of lining capitals with oldstyle numerals gives text a classic, page-like character rather than a modern, grid-aligned one.
